Born and raised in Zimbabwe, Panganai is now a Gateshead resident whose work intends to
communicate issues surrounding global climate change and help people question the importance
of protecting our fragile environment.
Through his work, he documents the various sustainable methods which are being adapted by
developed countries to counter the detrimental impact of global climate change.
He photographs the latest equipment being developed, with nearly zero carbon dioxide emissions,
which provides alternative, renewable energy. He has documented the important work being done
both in the UK and abroad, capturing both new and traditional solutions and technologies, such
as hydro power systems which are being brought back to life because of the issues raised by
global climate change. FREE

RCE colleagues met with Professor Takaaki Koganezawa, the director of RCE Greater Sendai. The Professor was deeply grateful for the support and concern shown by so many members of the global RCE family. He told us of the difficult and unsustainable situation which they are now facing in his region. With profound optimism he reflected upon the lessons we must all learn from the response of the Japanese people to the critical situation, and how we will work together to create a future filled with hope.

Dear Global RCE Community,
Thank you for your thoughtful words of support and concern. Miyagi University of Education, where the Secretariat of RCE Greater Sendai is located, was less damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. However, Kesennuma and Sendai¹s coastal area suffered extensive damage and we have not been able to get a hold of some of our colleagues. We are now facing a critical situation that is totally unsustainable.

I thank all of you for your continuous support.

On 17 March, Durham Energy Institute - Centre for Life co-hosted a public debate on whether we need carbon capture. The Government has committed to Carbon Capture & Storage where large volumes of CO2 are stored deep under the North Sea. However there are questions about how much we know about the process, whether it is safe and suitable for the North-East.
The debate provided a platform for attendees to ask questions that further their knowledge on carbon capture, and gave the wider public the opportunity to raise any fears or concerns about the implementation of the technology in North East England with a panel of experts.
Panelists included Prof Jon Gluyas, Durham Energy Institute; Roberta Blackman-Woods MP; Ross Weddle, CoRe Coop; and Sandy Irvine, Green Party. The debate was chaired by Professor Paul Younger of Newcastle University. The event was part of Newcastle ScienceFest 2011. March 2011
