Zoom Webinar: Manchester: Trade, Climate and the Global South

When: Monday Sep 7, 2020 7:00- 8:30 PM London

Manchester was built on trade. 

The government is secretly negotiating trade deals which will shape our future.  

What are the implications for tackling the Climate Emergency?

What are the implications for democracy?  

With raised awareness of #BlackLivesMatter we consider how these deals with the US and others could impact people both here and in the Global South.
