Cambridge Forum for Sustainability and the Environment |

Aims

The Forum aims to stimulate cross-disciplinary conversations about some of the great sustainability challenges the world faces in the future and the research pathways which will help to prepare for and address those challenges.

Our focus

The overarching theme of the Forum is 'sustainability in an uncertain future' and we change topics each October. In our fourth year, we are focusing on connections between health, wellbeing and sustainability and we will be exploring different aspects of this area each term.

How we work

Each month, the Forum brings together experts from across and outside Cambridge who are interested in sustainability and work in areas ranging from energy, biodiversity and food security to anthropology, architecture, history and economics.

Outputs

Our outputs include a series of reports which provide a bird's eye view of each of our themes and highlight key ideas and research questions generated during monthly Forum meetings.

Public events

More than 1,700 people have come to our public events, aimed at catalyzing debate around key issues related to sustainability and the environment and highlighting the University’s research in this area.
