Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Forum 2021
The previous century has seen human activity expand into almost every corner of the world. From the ocean depths to the ozone layer, it once seemed as though human advancement knew no bounds, that we could continue developing and expanding indefinitely. However, the events of the past year have, at least momentarily, brought this acceleration to standstill, and provided the opportunity to reflect on the fallout from our policies and lifestyle choices that prioritise extraction over sustainability.
“With this restart, a window of hope and opportunity opens… an opportunity for nations to green their recovery packages and shape the 21st century economy in ways that are clean, green, healthy, safe and more resilient” – UN Climate Chief
How can we rebuild a more sustainable and equitable world? This year’s Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Forum, ‘Sustainability in Action’, explores the ways in which change can be enacted at each level of society, examining how individual, community-led and governmental efforts can contribute towards a brighter future. We will explore how individual actions can support a more sustainable future; how local initiatives and social projects are organising to develop green communities, and how local, national and international policy can tackle the environmental and climate crisis at a systemic level. This year’s forum aims to guide and inform anyone and everyone who’s interested in making a difference right now.
Join in this stimulating panel discussions on topics such as Eco-Cities, Sustainable Policy, Circular Economy, Clean Energy, Food & Agriculture, Empowerment & Campaigning. Many of our most prestigious speakers make up the list of CLIMATE 100, the world’s most influential people in climate policy.
