Environmental Film Screening with Sir Graham Watson

Please join us for pizza and a film screening on Sunday, November 24th with Environmentalist-in-Residence Sir Graham Watson.

This week’s film will be ‘2040: an exercise in fact-based dreaming’ by Damon Gameau (92 minutes).

Described as “an exercise in fact-based dreaming” the film is structured as a letter to his daughter whereby Gameau travels around the world investigating numerous solutions that can contribute towards climate mitigation and imagining what a future would be like where they have been implemented at scale.

Sir Graham Watson has published ten books and has written numerous papers and articles on politics, history, energy, the environment and security policy for national newspapers, think tanks and academic journals. He has undertaken extended lecture tours involving ten universities in each of Germany and the Republic of China. He was a Distinguished Visiting Fellow (2020-2022) and is now an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs & Policy, teaching a postgraduate course on the European Union.

His forty-year professional career has spanned interpreting and translation, educational administration, banking and – predominantly and most recently – politics. Learn more about Sir Graham here: Sir Graham Watson | The Munk School (utoronto.ca)
