For the ĊINE’AMBJENT #8 session we will be looking at Climate Change and Island States. \nJoin on Friday 12th of April at the Friends of the Earth Malta GRC in Floriana to discuss Climate Change. Doors open at 18:00 for drinks\, the screening of will start at 18:30 sharp and will be followed by a panel discussion (scroll down for more info). \n\n\nAnote’s Ark (2018) – Matthieu Rytz\n\nClimate Change — the biggest phenomenon that will impact our environment\, our lives and the way we live. Yet it is so overarching that at most times it feels more like a concept and less of a reality since its implications are seen too far away for most of us to associate with. But climate change will have far-reaching implications that will effect us all\, not only polar bears with their habitat melting\, or people living in areas that are experiencing extreme weather. \n🌊Little has been done to mitigate the situation on a global level and now communities already need to adapt and face hard choices. What if your country was swallowed by the sea? Kiribati is a remote place on Earth and yet one of the 1st countries facing the annihilation from sea-level rise. \nThe film screening will be followed with a panel discussion. Joining us on the day will be: \nStefano Moncada — Islands and Small States Institute of the University of Malta\nStefano has been working since November 2008 with the University of Malta\, where he lectures and conducts research in the areas of development economics\, climate change\, island studies\, sustainable development\, and European studies.
