Wootton Courtenay Talk

Professor Sir Dieter Helm, an experienced and engaging speaker, has agreed to give a talk in Wootton Courtenay village hall on Friday 8th November at 7:30pm. Free entry with a retiring collection in aid of Somerset Wildlife Trust.

Dieter Helm provides extensive expert advice to UK and European governments, regulators and companies across three key areas: Energy & Climate; Regulation, Utilities & Infrastructure; and Natural Capital & the Environment. He is also a Vice President of the Exmoor Society,

Martin Wolf, Chief Economics Commentator, Financial Times, gave this review of Dieter Helm’s latest book, “Legacy”:

“Dieter Helm does not pull his punches in this forthright and powerful book. To avoid disaster, we must transform how we live. Above all, we must all pay for the maintenance of core natural assets, instead of living well off their destruction. This will demand radical changes in how we live our lives, individually and collectively. Some will assert that the revolution he seeks is impossible. Helm counters that it is inescapable.”
