Are you curious about climate change and its impact on our community? Are you eager to take meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future? Look no further! You’re invited to the grand finale of Green in the City.

Green in the City is a free event series organized by London Environmental Network, London Public Library, and the City of London.

The finale of this year’s 2023/2024 event series brings together three esteemed speakers who will share their insights, experience, and passion for addressing climate challenges in London and in similar communities:

  • City of London Mayor, Josh Morgan, who has served on London City Council for almost ten years and has been a proud Londoner for more than twenty-five years.
  • Dr. Karen Farbridge, an advisor to federal, provincial and municipal policy makers and industry leaders on building sustainable and resilient communities. She was also Mayor of Guelph for 11 years. Karen will be the keynote speaker at this event.
  • Milfred Hammerbacher, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of S2E Technologies Inc., the company that has played a key role in the development of West 5, Ontario’s first neighbourhood powered by the sun, and are the developers of EVE Park in the Riverbend area. Milfred has been active in the London climate change space for over a decade.

To help set the context for the event, a brief update on London’s Climate Emergency Action Plan, known as CEAP, will be provided by Jay Stanford, Director, Climate Change, Environment and Waste Management for the City of London. The event speakers will then participate in an engaging panel discussion about how families, businesses, and cities are mitigating and adapting to climate change.

Visitors will have the chance to meet our guests following the panel discussion.
