Damaris Trust to Host Student Climate Change Conference

Christian charity, the Damaris Trust, is to host a major one-day conference this July for Britain's sixth-formers looking at the spiritual and moral issues raised by climate change.

The Ambassador of Bolivia and World Vision's Rudo Kwaramba from Zimbabwe will be just two of the speakers at the Global Student Forum on 2 July at the Emmanuel Centre in Westminster. Delegates from schools across the UK will debate, hear from and interview leading academics, politicians and charity workers on environment issues.

The day conference will enable school students of all faiths and none to think carefully about the spiritual and moral issues underlying global citizenship under the motto 'Dying for a Drink?'.
