Copenhagen UN summit: ‘The most important meeting in history’
In December 2009 in Copenhagen (Denmark) the world’s governments will meet  for what may be the last chance to agree on joint global actions to cut greenhouse gases, to prevent  runaway global warming. This is being called ‘the most important meeting in history’. Millions of people are pressing their governments to do more – and to agree the best policies at Copenhagen, even if some powerful oil, bio-fuel and aviation businesses oppose this.

Venue: United Reform Church, Princes St, Norwich (near Cinema City)

==Philosophy Public Lectures 2009, 'Matters of Life and Death', Thursdays, 7.00pm, UEA Lecture Theatre==


The UEA Philosophy Public Lectures will this year be devoted to "Matters of Life and Death".  The series will be launched by the philosopher Baroness Mary Warnock, prolific writer and broadcaster, and former member of the House of Lords Select Committee on Euthanasia, and the Parliamentary Committee of Enquiry into Human Fertilisation and Embryology. Human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith, renowned for his work on behalf of prisoners on Death Row in the U.S.A., will talk on "Torture and the Secret Prisons".  In his lecture UEA philosopher Jerry Goodenough challenges us to think more clearly about abortion.  Jonathan Glover, Professor of Philosophy at King's College, London, author of Causing Death and Saving Lives and Humanity: A Moral History of the Twentieth Century, shows how internecine strife is born out of the narratives which sustain the identities of Israel and Palestine. In the concluding lecture, Anna Smajdor, Lecturer in Ethics in the UEA Medical School, will raise questions about the ethics of procreation, questions that grow ever more pressing in the light of new breakthroughs in research.

*Thursday 5 November 2009, Jerry Goodenough, Reasoning about abortion*
Thursday 19 November 2009, Jonathan Glover, Narratives that kill: the case of Israel and Palestine
*Thursday 26 November 2009, Clive Stafford Smith, Torture and the Secret Prisons
