High Water, Common Ground: film screening and discussion
High Water Common Ground is a thought-provoking, unreleased 'documentary-meets-toolkit' about natural flood management, made by Andrew Clark of Top of The Tree Productions.
The screening will be followed by a discussion on the future of natural capital in Yorkshire, where a changing climate, air pollution and developments such as Leeds FAS2, HS2, South Bank, the Clean Air Zone and the Northern Forest all present major challenges and opportunities.
Panellists:
Simon Jepps - Leeds FAS2 Flood Modeller at Thomas Mackay Ltd
Dr Alex Nicholson - Natural Flood Management Specialist at Arup
Professor Alan Simson (Leeds Beckett) - Landscape Architect, Urban Forester and Chair of The White Rose Forest
Professor Piers Forster (University of Leeds) - Priestley International Centre for Climate, and the United Bank of Carbon
plus an expert audience holding much useful opinion to be shared.
The event is hosted by Leeds Becket Landscape Architecture Department, Arup, Thomas Mackay Ltd, United Bank of Carbon, Leeds Climate Commission, Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy and The Priestley International Centre for Climate.
