The Royal Society of Arts has a regular programme of free lectures. I was tipped off about an event that is taking place later this month.
The event is on the 23rd of March at the RSA. I was all set to go, but have something else to do that day unfortunately so can't attend - fortunately I can LISTEN LIVE.
Thanks to @HodderGeography for the tip-off.
The event is called 'The New North'.
Here's a description of the session:
The book by Laurence Smith is available on AMAZON. You can read quite a lot of it on LOOK INSIDE to get a real taste of it. More to come on this area later...

Here's a description of the session:
In 2050, Northern countries – notably Canada, Russia and Scandinavia – will rise at the expense of southern ones. Patterns of human migration will be dramatically altered – and where we are born will be crucial. But, argues UCLA Professor Laurence Smith, humans are adaptable: and there will be gains as a new world takes shape.
Laurence Smith visits the RSA to explore the four forces that are changing the world – climate change, rising population, globalisation and resource depletion – and attempts to predict how they will shape the world between now and 2050.
Speaker: Laurence Smith, professor and vice-chairman of geography and professor of earth and space sciences at the University of California.

This is just one of many events at the RSA that are worth attending. Always worth a check on the calendar if you know you're going to be in London
