Join us at our first Sustainability Summit as SOS-UK!

Thursday 17-10-2019 - 10:31

Returning for its 6th year, the Sustainability Summit offers workshops, talks and panel discussions with some of the UK’s top environmental activists and campaigners, from organisations including Friends of the Earth and People and Planet, UKSCN, as well as the students and students' unions (SUs) leading the youth climate movement.

This year's event will focus on the climate emergency, and how we can influence our universities and colleges, politicians and wider society to take bold action, as promises and good intentions alone won't stop climate chaos, nor fix systemic inequality.

Connect with others involved with environmental and climate justice campaigning , and gain practical skills in community organising, campaign planning, liberation and sustainability, and so much more.
