The Climate Forums

What are they?

The Climate Forums are conferences that take place across the Hub universities network. They are events seeking to engage students on the issues of climate change - answering what it is, why it's happening, and what we can do about it. Integral to this are questions of sustainability and how we interact with the environment.

Speakers come from all walks of life - politics, history, science, law, business, engineering - and offer a range of insights and expertise. Also involved are workshops and practical skills sessions, as well as a chance to meet loads of other people passionate about making the world a better place.

The Climate Forums inform and inspire, empowering this generation to lead the global transition into a just and sustainable future...now!
