Professor Subedi will talk about the extent to which a human rights framework can be used to require states to prevent climate change and mitigate its impact on human life. My focus will be on analysing the obligations of states arising from the universality of human rights and how they relate to climate change and how various principles of international law could be utilised to require both states and business organisations to align their activities towards preventing climate change.

Half a century has passed since the birth of Leeds Other Paper, an alternative local newspaper that uncovered many of the city’s less told stories. LOP lasted from 1974 to 1994, during which time it reported on social, political, economic and cultural life in Leeds from an alternative perspective. Run by a co-operative and existing on a shoestring, the paper gave a voice to many individuals and communities who felt ignored, patronised or even demonised by more mainstream media.

The ‘Ribbons’ sculpture, selected for the Feminist Public Sculpture project, is due to be installed in Autumn.

This sculpture, in partnership with Leeds City Council, Leeds Arts University and Leeds City College, champions women’s achievements in Leeds and goes some way to correct a gender imbalance in public art in the city. Leeds Civic Trust has been one of its sponsors.
