Water: Global Challenges for the 21st Century

Water is the fountain of life - we can't live without it, and we can't seemingly manage too much of it. In an unequal world where water resources will increasingly become a trigger point for conflict, how should Christians engage with the challenges of development, sanitation, climate change and political and social unrest? and how can we care for our global neighbours experiencing the sharp end of water-related problems?

The Redcliffe College/JRI Environment Day will provide thought-provoking talks and interactive seminars on these and related issues. Speakers include:  Frank Greaves and Sue Yardley, Tearfund; Barbara Brighouse, Christian Engineers in Development; John Bimsom, Trinity College Bristol; Trevor Muten, Tapajos Limited; Micheal Travis, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel; Claire Ashton, The John Ray Initiative  and Richard Carter, Water Aid.

The cost of the day is £38 per person and includes a two-course hot buffet lunch and refreshments. More information and a booking form is available from www.redcliffe.org/environment-conference-2012
