Cambridge Climate & Sustainability Forum

The Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Forum is a two-day annual event aimed at increasing awareness of climate change, sustainability and surrounding issues. It features panels and presentations from a diverse range of local and international speakers. Our forum this year seeks to reset and recalibrate our responses to the climate crisis. By understanding it as an inevitable reckoning produced by long term systemic inequalities, we can address a wider network of intersecting injustices and create transformational solutions. With the closure of COP26, we want to look back and reflect on how we’ve got here, and how we’ve failed to mobilise. Understanding the critical importance of right now and demanding ambitious change is the only possible path to climate justice. We want to emphasise creativity and diverse voices in sustainability, centring intersectionality and looking outside the Western narrative. We want to reach out to students in Cambridge and create new and diverse responses to the climate crisis. By inspiring individuals who may not be involved with sustainability while simultaneously sparking new conversations among the more experienced, we plan to kickstart a new generation of student activists.
