The World Development Movement has organised two events for October which may be of interest:
Climate justice now: climate change, debt and Scotland’s role in global justice.
Thursday October 6, 7.30-9.30pm, Glasgow
At the heart of the climate crisis lies a fundamental injustice. While rich countries got rich on an economy built on fossil fuels, it is poorer countries who are now paying the price. We owe those countries a climate debt. Lidy Nacpil, co-ordinator of Jubilee South, from the Philippines will be speaking about debt, the impacts of climate change in her country, her experience of the United Nations climate talks and how we can help bring about climate justice.

World Food Day; lunch, music, workshops and discussion.
Sunday October 16, 12.45-4.30pm, Edinburgh
To mark World Food Day on October 16th, the World Development Movement, Oxfam, Take One Action film festival and a host of local food projects and producers will be holding a lunchtime meal accompanied by live music and followed by discussions and workshops. Come along and explore the impacts of international politics and economics on the global food system and the health of people in Scotland and around the world. Full details are here
