Plunge artist Michael Pinsky is joined by Joe Hall, Dr Giles Fraser, former Canon Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral, and guests; chaired by Charlie Kronick, Senior Policy Advisor at Greenpeace UK.

The event will explore how we can avoid the predicted future of Plunge and globally combat climate change and environmental damage and ask what might have the greatest effect – art, religion, law or politics?

Chaired by Charlie Kronick, Senior Policy Advisor at Greenpeace UK, this panel discussion will see Michael Pinsky joined by speakers including Dr Giles Fraser, former Canon Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral, and Joe Hall, head of campaign for Eradicating Ecocide.

Dr Giles Fraser was Canon Chancellor of St Paul’s Cathedral from 2009 until his resignation in October 2011 in protest at plans to forcibly remove Occupy protesters from its steps. As Canon Chancellor, he fulfilled the role of a canon residentiary with special responsibility for contemporary ethics and engagement with the City of London.

Joe Hall is Head of Campaigns for Eradicating Ecocide, campaigning for an international law of Ecocide which would make CEOs and our Heads of State legally responsible for the Earth.
