Cambridge Forum for Sustainability and the Environment

 

This year, our topic aims to draw connections between health, wellbeing and sustainability.

Each term has a different theme. First, in October, November and December, we focused on the determinants of health and wellbeing in places. Between January and March 2017, we built on the discussions we had during our second topic and focused on diets. In April, May and June, we will explore health, wellbeing and sustainability in a changing world and more details will be available soon.
