Theme:
 
As the debates on finding solutions to mitigate global climate change while
ensuring the security of electricity supply continue, many leading
politicians and scientists are calling for swift reconsideration of the role
of nuclear power. This side event aims to present facts and concerns that
will lead to an effective discussion on which criteria and values should be
considered when determining the possible role of nuclear power in addressing
environmental and economic issues.  Presenting his thoughts on how nuclear
power must be part of the solution to global warming will be Dr. Patrick
Moore.
 
Keynote Speaker: 
    
Dr. Moore has been a leader in the international environmental field for
over 30 years. He is a founding member of Greenpeace and served for nine
years as President of Greenpeace Canada and seven years as a Director of
Greenpeace International. Dr Moore led many campaigns and was a driving
force in shaping the policy and activities that made Greenpeace the world's
largest environmental activist organization.
 
Recently, Dr. Moore has worked to promote sustainability and create
consensus among those with competing concerns. He was appointed to the
British Columbia Round Table on the Environment and Economy and served from
1990 to 1994. In 1990, Dr. Moore founded and chaired the BC Carbon Project,
a group that endeavoured to develop a common understanding of climate change

 
In 1991 Dr. Moore founded Greenspirit, a consultancy focusing on
environmental policy and communications in natural resources, biodiversity,
energy and climate change. In 2000, he published Green Spirit - Trees are
the Answer, a book that provides new insight into how forests work and the
powerful role they can play in solving many of our current environmental
problems.
