Arts and Science: a discussion held about how the world of film, arts and creative communication can tell the “climate emergency story”, and “inspire hope for action”.

Electric vehicles: an event that will place emphasis on the importance of accelerating the uptake of electric vehicles in order to transition away from fossil fuel energy.
