One Planet, Many Plans: The Great Climate Debate
This event will take place in Newcastle in February 2026 (online viewing also available)
In a world racing against time and in an age of climate pledges, greenwashing, and technological optimism, the question remains: are we truly on the path to saving our planet, or are we merely projecting a hopeful illusion?
From bold tech innovations to grassroots activism, radical policy shifts to global cooperation – what is the best course of action for us to take to ensure our future?
Whether you're a climate optimist, a sceptic, or somewhere in between, join this solutions-focused debate that will challenge your assumptions and inspire deeper thinking about the future of our planet. Be part of the conversation and part of the solution.
This event builds upon an existing collaboration between Newcastle and Northumbria Universities and Newcastle City Council.
The Collaborative Newcastle Universities Agreement (CNUA) is a civic university agreement between Newcastle and Northumbria Universities. CNUA is the mechanism through which the universities work together and with other key city stakeholders, such as the council on joint projects that benefit the city.
Through CNUA the universities have been working together to establish how best they can use their expertise to support the council’s net zero ambitions. Find out more
Registration for this event will open in semester 2.
