Europa w świecie: pamphlet launch event in Warsaw

By Chris Littlecott

To launch the publication of the Polish translation of our ‘Europe in the World’ pamphlet, a discussion event was held in Warsaw on the 15th November 2007.

Organised by our colleagues at the Regional Environmental Centre in association with the Foundation for the Development of Polish Agriculture, the event was kindly hosted by British Ambassador Ric Todd at his official residence.

The event featured contributions from distinguished panelists Andrzej Kassenberg (President of the Institute for Sustainable Development) and Tomasz Podgajniak (former deputy minister of the environment) and debate continued late into the evening.

Key themes to emerge were how Europe can communicate better the positive story of the employment benefits to come from tackling climate change, and the challenge of being a pathfinder for change in an interdependent world.
