SUMMARY:Stop Food Waste Day
DESCRIPTION:Stop Food Waste Day is the largest single day of action in the fight against food waste. \nStarted in 2017 by Compass Group USA\, Stop Food Waste Day is now recognised globally in every corner of the world as we unite to educate and ignite change. \nDid you know\, one third* of food produced for human consumption is lost or wasted globally? Food waste is central to some of the key challenges facing the world today\, including hunger and poverty\, climate change\, health and wellbeing and the sustainability of agriculture and oceans. Wasting food is also a waste of the energy to grow\, harvest\, process and cook\, and food waste in landfill can cause methane emissions\, a potent greenhouse gas. *Source: World Food Programme \nIt’s easy for everyone to get involved with reducing the impact of food waste\, not just on Stop Food Waste Day\, but day in\, day out – both in our personal and professional lives. \nFind out more and get involved here.

SUMMARY:Climate Justice: What it is\, Why it Matters
DESCRIPTION:Whilst the climate crisis is being caused by wealthy and industrialised countries\, the greatest impacts are being experienced by countries with very low individual carbon footprints. These countries also have the fewest resources for dealing with these impacts. Hear more from Izzie about this key issue and Global Justice Now’s campaign to make sure that compensation is paid by the big polluting corporations\, as part of the international compensation fund agreed at the annual world climate conference in 2022 (COP27). \nEvent Timings:\n10.30-11am Green Cafe: chat over fairtrade teas\, coffees and biscuits about topical climate crisis issues\, ACE’s work and how to get involved. \n11.00 – 12.15pm Izzie’s talk and Q&A \n12.15-12.30pm Closing remarks and notices \nAbout Izzie MacIntosh – Izzie is the Climate Campaign Manager at Global Justice Now. Since starting in the role\, her work has focused on targeting corporate polluters and their climate-wrecking activities. Before joining the climate movement\, Izzie was a migrant justice campaigner\, focusing on immigration detention and deportations. This included being part of the team that brought the first legal challenge against the UK government’s policy to forcibly remove people seeking refugee protection to Rwanda. \nAbout Global Justice Now – GJN is part of a global movement to create a more just and equal world – mobilising people in the UK for change\, and acting in solidarity with those fighting injustice\, particularly in the global south.
