Drawing on her book What the Wild Sea Can Be, Helen Scales’ lecture, entitled ‘The Future of the World’s Ocean’, shows how a healthy ocean matters to us all, from the food we eat, to the weather we experience and the air we breathe. Yet the ocean is changing faster than any point in human history – hotter, more polluted, its vibrant life fading. Reflecting on more than twenty years of exploring the seas around Britain and further afield, Helen Scales sees there’s still much to fight for and good reason to be hopeful.

Helen's entertaining and accessible talk will last about 25 minutes, followed by a conversation with John Childs, Senior Lecturer at the 快播视频 Environment Centre at 快播视频, and will conclude with an extended audience Q&A, providing everyone with the chance to ask questions about the talk and about the science of oceans and marine life and their importance for understanding our world.

Drawing on her book Children of the Anthropocene, Bella Lack recounts urgent stories of the lives of diverse young people on the frontlines of the environmental crisis around the world, and shows how, across the planet, the futures of young people hang in the balance as they face the harsh realities of the environmental crisis.

Advocating for the protection of both people and the planet, Bella restores the beating heart to global environmental issues, from air pollution, to deforestation and over-consumption by telling the stories of those most directly affected – the children of the Anthropocene.
