Warwick Sustainability Forum 2025: From reflection to action
About the Event
Date: 3rd July 2025
Location: Roof Terrace (Faculty of Art Building), University of Warwick
In its second iteration, this one-day Warwick Sustainability Forum brings together a community of researchers with a focus on sustainability across and beyond Warwick, to collectively plan our actions towards addressing global planetary challenges in 2025/26, and to discuss the next BIG ISSUES for the sustainability agenda, regionally, nationally and internationally. The latter will be developed through a higher-level conversation with representatives from the parliament, national government, UKRI funders, industry, businesses, and community leaders, to ensure focus on a joined-up thinking, planning and response. We welcome all researchers and stakeholders who feel concerned about our planet, and wish to collectively shape our alternative and more sustainable futures.
The event is organised by Sustainability Spotlight and its leadership team.Link opens in a new window
