Helen is at How The Light Gets In at Hay-on-Wye, supporting 2 events on Sunday 28 May 2023:

Capitalism and the Climate

Former governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney has said 'the goal of net zero is the greatest commercial opportunity of our time.' Proponents of capitalism argue the very economic system that instigated climate change is also the way to end it.

Prominent economist and influential professor, Rebecca Henderson, and Helen come together in this event to debate the tangled and possibly fatal relationship between capitalism and climate change.

How the Oceans Shaped the World

Earth is home to a huge story that is rarely told - that of our ocean. What it does, why it works, and how it's influenced human civilisation. Join Helen as she argues that the ocean is not merely a feature of our planet, but an extraordinary engine on which we all depend - a phenomenal blue machine.
