Chan Shun Concert Hall

Presented by the Chan Centre

When it comes to our fragile biosphere,
what does the future hold? And what do we need to do to secure it? A
leading environmental activist and advocate on carbon emissions and
population levels, Tim Flannery paints a vivid and terrifying picture of
our planet's potential future in his award-winning books, including The Weather Makers, Now or Never and The Future Eaters.

Flannery is an internationally acclaimed scientist, explorer and
conservationist, and in 2007 was named Australian of the Year. Most
recently, his controversial views on shutting down conventional
coal-fired power stations for electricity generation have been
frequently featured in the media. Please join us for a rare Canadian
appearance by one of Australia's foremost thinkers and writers.
