We are proud to announce the return of Green Week which will take place 4-10 March 2019 across Coventry and our newly added area of Leamington Spa.

We have been working with our partners: Warwick SU, Coventry University, CUSU, Coventry City Council, Warwick District Council and Action 21 to engage departments, businesses, schools, charities and community groups across the region to bring you a week of educational events and talks as well as activities galore.

Over the next 10 years we know from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) our actions will determine if we keep within the relatively safe limits of 1.5 degree global temperature increase. To do this we must all act very quickly, as both organisations and individuals. In 2015 the UN produced the Global Sustainable Development Goals. This is a global 'to do' list to make our planet a better place to live and we are using these goals during the week to explain what we mean by sustainability.

Get involved with our events to learn how YOU can make a difference.
