Our keynote speaker is inspirational University of Cambridge student, Esha Marwaha. Whilst still in secondary school, Esha ran a successful campaign against The Department of Education, who were threatening to remove climate change from the curriculum for under 14s. Through gathering support from over 31,000 people, victory was won and the government dropped their plans!

Gain practical skills in sustainability campaigning and connect with other officers and activists to take action on issues like divestment, renewables, food waste, climate justice and so much more. The full agenda is attached.
