Speakers from Brazil and the US will present first-hand experience of the impacts of the UK’s biomass policies on forests and people in their countries. This includes a presentation about the first ever case study (from Maranhão, Brazil) published anywhere in the world about a land-grab for tree plantations specifically to grow wood to burn in our power stations. These presentations will be followed by evidence about the impacts of biomass power stations on UK communities, especially on air quality and public health.
Free public event.
