Compassion in World Farming announces a lecture from Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the IPCC, joint winner of the Nobel Peace Prize (with Al Gore) in 2007.

This is a unique opportunity to hear one of the world’s most respected climate change experts in London, September 2008. Tickets are available through Compassion's website, ciwf.org.

A panel of experts, including Compassion’s own Joyce D’Silva and Prof. Robert Watson, Chief Scientific Adviser to DEFRA, will join Dr Pachauri in taking questions from the floor after the lecture.
