The Climate Forums
The Climate Forums
Organised by students in different Hubs, the Climate Forums are a series of conferences that seek to inform and inspire students to take action against climate change.
Upcoming Climate Forums
Bristol Climate 'Action' Forum
* Saturday 9th of March *
The Bristol Climate 'Action' Forum is the new and exciting addition to the forum collection. Named the 'Action' forum both because of a commitment to actively involving students in discussion groups as well as a focus on the action we must take as a society to adapt to climate change.
The aim is to inspire new ideas and thinking about the issue of climate change as well as informing attendees about the current thinking on this incredibly important topic.
Speakers include; Phil Bloomer (Oxfam Director, Campaigns and Policy Division), Charles Secrett (Campaigner, Founder of ACT! and the ex-executive director of Friends of the Earth), Ed Dowding (founder of Sustaination) and Duncan Williamson (Food Adviser to the WWF).
Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Forum
* Friday 15th of March *
We are pleased to announce the Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Forum 2013.
Join us for a highly engaging day discussing the theme of "Local Action. Global Change?". Will technological breakthroughs lead us to a sustainable future? Or will it be individual action that drives the change we need? In addition to speakers from the University of Cambridge and Anglia Ruskin University who will be touching on what research is being done with regard to climate change mitigation, there will also be local and national student societies sharing stories of their efforts - their successes and the challenges they encountered.
Look forward to inspiring talks, interactive workshops and plenty of opportunities to network with the speakers, guests and other organisations. This promises to be one of the highlights of the sustainability calendar - a must for anyone interested in tomorrow's world!
