As part of Great Big Green Week 2025, Greener Henley is delighted to welcome back Professor Christopher Merchant, a leading climate scientist from the University of Reading, for a fascinating and thought-provoking talk at the historic Leander Club. The evening will be led by Olympic rowing champion, Greg Searle MBE, who will guide the conversation and open the floor for a lively and engaging Q&A. Climate change isn’t a distant threat—it’s happening now, reshaping our planet in ways we can already see. From extreme heatwaves to rising sea levels and disrupted ecosystems, our world is undergoing rapid transformation. But what do these global changes mean for us? Professor Merchant will take us on a journey from the latest climate science to the risks we face worldwide, the knock-on effects on people, economies, and nature, and the urgent actions needed to steer toward a better future.
