Special AlterCOP 30 People, Planet, Pint™ with the UNAA Young Professionals

Join us at this special People Planet Pint meetup to reflect on the AlterCOP events that are taking place between Monday 17th to Thursday 20th November.

We'll be hosting this event together with our friends from the United Nations Association of Australia Young Professionals branch to bring our two communities together.

As normal, no pitches, powerpoints or panels. Just People, Planet, Pint/s.

If you haven't been to a PPP event before, it's a great place to start your journey or continue learning, and meet diverse people to chat about life and how we can sustain it. Every job is a climate job, so come along and learn about how you can take action, as well as what is going on locally.

We welcome everyone, regardless of their experience or background. People Planet Pint is a space where everyone can feel comfortable learning about sustainability and sharing their ideas.

After all, creating a sustainable future requires connected communities. And what better way to bring everyone together than over a drink?

Prefer a Pastry to a Pint? Head along to ‘People Planet Pastry’! Equally relaxed and welcoming, they run during the day and offer an informal way to learn about what is going on locally in sustainability.

Please note: We will be gathering outside on the rooftop terrace but there will be outside heaters available. However please bring a coat or appropriately warm clothing to ensure that you will be comfortable.

When you come up the escalators from Queen Street or in the lift from Burnett Lane, look for the main hotel reception desk. When you are looking at the reception desk, there is a short corridor to the right. Walk down that corridor and enter the lifts at the end. Take the lift up to the 4th floor. Exit the lift and walk straight ahead down a short corridor, and then take the first right and you will see the Hibiscus Bar & Terrace directly ahead. We will be outside on the roof terrace to the right near some standing height tables. Look for the Blue Planet People table signs.
