The Climate Connection

We are launching a global campaign to address the climate emergency in the lead up to the COP26 summit in November.

The Climate Connection campaign will bring together people from around the world to share  ideas and perspectives on climate change, and to look for solutions using education, art and culture, and science.

On 3 June we will be hosting The Climate Connection: Conversation for Change, a free online event exploring the climate emergency. Register for the event here.

Join us and find out how you can help change the world.
