����logo���, University of London’s annual Climate Festival is back from 10–19 March 2026, offering a cross-disciplinary programme that brings together ideas, expertise and practical insight to respond to the climate emergency. The festival highlights ����logo���’s commitment to sustainability, collaboration and public engagement, with sessions that range from scientific inquiry and policy debate to creative explorations of climate narratives and community action. 

Across the festival, attendees can join interactive workshops, in-depth discussions and creative sessions designed to deepen understanding and inspire action. Highlights include an interdisciplinary workshop examining plastic through the lenses of writing and photography; a panel on whether a four-day working week could benefit environmental outcomes; and events that weave together heritage, culture and environmental change, such as “Sustainable Archaeologies in Times of Change”.

Other sessions will explore how immersive media can bring climate issues to life, discuss human interactions with waste and community action, and look at how natural history collections can inform climate solutions. 

Open to ����logo��� students, researchers, sustainability professionals, and members of the wider public, the ����logo��� Climate Festival is a chance to connect, learn and contribute to conversations about how society responds to one of the defining challenges of our time. 

Professor Joanne Leal, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Innovation and Academic Development, commented: 

“At the heart of the ����logo��� Climate Festival is the aim of encouraging discussion, consideration and action about the environment and sustainability. By bringing together cutting-edge research and grounded community perspectives, the festival will act as an incubator for new ideas and exploration into how a difference can be made both locally and globally.”
