Plenary - The Role of Education in Reaching Net Zero
Higher and Further Education has an important role to play in the global race to net zero emissions both by balancing their own emissions and by researching global solutions, models and pathways to net zero. How Universities and colleges respond to the current crisis will be pivotal not only for students looking for future career opportunities but also for their local communities.

Closing Plenary – Taking Action
We want to ensure we send you back into your institutions feeling passionate and motivated. The task ahead of us is significant, but we hope that our closing address will leave you feeling refreshed and energised for the journey ahead. Given all we’ve worked on throughout the conference how do we take all that learning, and work together? Our closing plenary looks to bring all the strands of the conference together, teaching, communication, cooperation, community, anxiety, emissions reporting, behaviour change to name a few. What better way to tie this all together than a discussion around transdisciplinary action for Climate Change and Social reforms. We want to close by inspiring you to be active participants in the Climate Agenda looking at a holistic approach to Climate Action.
