Thank you so much for your help, Rebekah Date and Venue: Wednesday 23rd June, Bridge Lounge, BBC Television Centre, White City, London Speakers are asked to arrive at 1pm for sandwiches, drinks and preparation time Topics to be covered: We would like your scientist to cover the following areas: Scientific evidence for climate change, scientific forecasts showing the implications of climate change- and if possible also the social implications of climate change and alternative methods to deal with greenhouse gases (carbon sequestration etc). Minimum props/slides Audience: The journalists present will be a mixture of those specialised in the field of the environment and science and those that cover more general subjects but who will be working on a week on climate change that the BBC is running on News 24 in early July. The pitch level needs to be a mixture of an overview of the subject for the more unspecialised journalists present and meaty information/analysis and theories for the more specialised journalists. Format: The format will be along these lines: There will be an introduction by one of our environment correspondents giving an overview of the topic (5 mins), which will probably lead directly into the section covered by your scientist on the science behind the causes and implications of climate change (15 mins). There will then be a section on the Kyoto Protocol (10 mins) and we would then like your scientist to cover other methods to deal with greenhouse gases (5 mins). This will be followed by the business perspective; the economics of the carbon cycle, the implications of emissions trading on business, how the business world needs to adapt to comply with environmental obligations etc (15 mins-to be covered by a speaker from Climate Change Capital). There will then be 10-15 mins of questions from the audience.
