IGSD organised its first of the NEXUS series event: an immersive and thought-provoking world cafe session designed to challenge and reimagine the way we produce and share climate knowledge. It brought together researchers and thinkers from across and beyond Warwick, including our international guests Prof. Harini Nagendra, Director School for Climate Change and Sustainability, and Justine Marchant, Soka Gakkai International UK. The event was followed by an exhibition 'the Seeds of Hope' at 16.30 and a writing session at 18.00 at the FAB.
