Guardian : For the Earthwatch annual debate, which takes place tomorrow in London at the Royal Geographical Society, five experts have been tapped to debate why their chosen topic should be the number one global priority to tackle over the next 40 years; audience members will then vote on the most compelling argument for support. The topics are food security, a zero-carbon future, protection of the oceans, education, and water scarcity. “By bringing together leading environmental thinkers and activists,” said Earthwatch executive vice president Nigel Winser , “this event will give our audience an opportunity to consider some of these serious issues, and some possible solutions in an entertaining and thought-provoking format.”
