This unique event will highlight the crucial connection between whales, London and climate change. Whales have visited London via the Thames twice this century. But the connection between the city and cetaceans goes much deeper than that.

Whales are a keystone species in the ocean and an important driver of carbon sequestration, helping keep the climate cooler for Londoners. But their habitat is now under threat.

Speakers:

Sian Prior, Clean Arctic Alliance
Sophie Locke, Blue Marine Foundation
