 Well, good evening. Good evening, and welcome to the Barbara Ward lecture. We've got some wonderful footage there, I think, from 1972 of Barbara Ward, our founder, and I urge you to go on to our website, and the IID YouTube site, and you can watch that again and again and again, and each time it is just as inspirational. My name is Camilla Tullman, and I've got the pleasure to be director of IID. The Barbara Ward lecture celebrates IID's founder, a renowned economist, journalist, and public intellectual, one of the truly great and good, who was one of the earliest advocates of sustainable development. So IID was set up by Barbara Ward in 1971, and we are a key part of her legacy, bridging the urgent need for prosperity and much greater equality, but with the imperative of living within the confines of our planet's boundaries. We seek to keep true to her vision and values. Another very important part of Barbara's legacy is her son, Robert, and his family, and it's lovely to see you here, Robert. Thank you very much for coming. Barbara Ward had a very powerful voice and vision and influenced audiences across the world in honour of her pioneering work in sustainable development, and the inspiration she gave to many in this field, IID organises lectures by the current generation of outstanding women in development. Speakers have included, as you will have seen from some of the film and photos outside, former Ireland's president, Mary Robinson, Connie Hedigard, who we saw just now, who's just stepped down as European Commissioner for Planet Action, South African MP Lindy Wee Cizulu, and Cristiano Figueres, who's heading up the Secretariat of the UN Framework Convention on Planet Change, all fantastic role models of women who are making a big difference in their particular parts of the sustainable development arena. In 2014, in honour of the 100th anniversary of Barbara Ward's birth, we're really glad to have climate expert Fatima Denton, director of special initiatives of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, to speak to us on the topic of rewriting the narrative on Africa and climate change. Being highly competent, Fatima Denton is not only in charge of special initiatives, but also co-ordinator of the African Climate Policy Centre, also at UNECA in Alisababa. Prior to this, Fatima led one of the largest climate change adaptation research programmes, particularly funded by Canada's IDRC and the UK's Department for International Development. This covered 1140 research projects across more than 30 African countries, looking at ways in which poor people could better adapt and be protected from climate change. Before IDRC, Fatima worked as a senior energy specialist at the United Nations Environment Programme UNEP, and prior to that with Ender Tiamond in Dakar, Senegal. Fatima is also a co-ordinating lead author for the IPCC's Working Group 2 and is currently a member of the Independent Science Panel of the CGIAR Climate Change and Food Security Programme, CCAFS. She holds a PhD in political science and development studies from the University of Birmingham, having done her bachelor and masters at Dakar Visinal Saint and the Sorbonne in Paris. So this evening, Fatima will deliver her lecture on rewriting the narrative on Africa and climate change, but before I give her the floor, I also want to introduce Rebecca Grinsman. IDRC is very lucky to have Rebecca Grinsman as the chair of our Board of Trustees, having recently taken over from Maureen O'Neill. And because a number of our other board members here this evening, you can recognise our ideas, including board members, by this little yellow spot on our name badges. I hope that doesn't mean they're going to take us away. So look out for yellow blobs. Look out for yellow blobs if you want to buttonhole somebody from my ID after the lecture. So following the lecture, we'll have 20, 25 minutes of Q&A from the audience, and we'll say some external questioners that we're getting through social media. And we hope you'll also join us after the lecture, when we'll have a chance to mingle and discuss continued topics of the drinks and canopies. There's also a selection of ID publications out there, including an already lovely book about Barbara Ward and her work on promoting sustainable development. We'll be sharing snapshots from this lecture to a wider audience through social media. So also please feel free to tweet our hashtag is hashtag Barbara Ward 2014. I'm obliged to tell you that if you hear in alarm, it will be for real. We've not got any practices planned apparently this evening. So if you hear in alarm, you exit by the main door or by the door up there on the top left. So that done, Fatima, please, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
