Theme:
As the debates on finding solutions to mitigate global climate change
while ensuring the security of electricity supply continue, many leading
politicians and scientists are calling for swift reconsideration of the role of
nuclear power. This side event aims to present facts and concerns that will lead
to an effective discussion on which criteria and values should be considered
when determining the possible role of nuclear power in addressing environmental
and economic issues. Presenting his
thoughts on how nuclear power must be part of the solution to global warming
will be Dr. Patrick Moore.
Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Moore has been a leader in the international environmental field
for over 30 years. He is a founding member of Greenpeace and served for nine
years as President of Greenpeace Canada and seven years as a Director of
Greenpeace International. Dr Moore led many campaigns and was a driving force in
shaping the policy and activities that made Greenpeace the world's largest
environmental activist organization.
Recently,
Dr. Moore has worked to promote sustainability and create consensus among those
with competing concerns. He was appointed to the British Columbia Round Table on
the Environment and Economy and served from 1990 to 1994. In 1990, Dr. Moore
founded and chaired the BC Carbon Project, a group that endeavoured to develop a
common understanding of climate change
In
1991 Dr. Moore founded Greenspirit, a consultancy focusing on environmental
policy and communications in natural resources, biodiversity, energy and climate
change. In 2000, he published Green Spirit - Trees are the Answer, a book
that provides new insight into how forests work and the powerful role they can
play in solving many of our current environmental
problems.
