Sustainability in Focus at This Year’s Climate Action Festival
31 October 2024
Now in its fourth year, the Climate Action Festival from the University of Lincoln, UK, is back for 2024 this November and it’s bigger and better than ever!
The Festival is held over six days and is taking place this year between 18 and 23 November, finishing with a citywide community litter pick on the Saturday. The Festival is dedicated to raising climate awareness, and aims to highlight how everyone can take positive climate action in their communities and wider afield.
This year’s themes are Climate Education, Nature Positive and Community, and will include events that celebrate nature, sustainable fashion, art and more.
The Festival has also been recognised by the prestigious UK and Ireland Green Gown Awards, and will be on the shortlist at this year’s award ceremony.
Visitors to this year’s Festival can take part in Tree Walks, learn how to survey wildlife, attend the Wild Lincolnshire Panel and much more. There will be plenty of opportunities to get creative by learning how to make nature-friendly art or by visiting the art exhibition. All of this as well as an insight into some of the positive sustainability research taking place at the University of Lincoln.
Libby John, Professor and Dean of Sustainability at the University of Lincoln said:
“Our Climate Action Festival has become an autumnal highlight celebrating all things sustainability!
“From fashion to science to wildlife to art and craft there is a varied and exciting timetable of events where staff, students and members of our wider community can contribute and feel positive about their sustainability contribution.
“So please take a look at our timetable and sign up for something new!”
This year’s Climate Action Festival will be taking place at venues across Lincoln, and will involve more partner organisations than ever before.
The Nature Positive Exhibition will be taking place at Project Space + at the Peter De Wint Building on Brayford Campus. A Community Clothes Swap will be held at the Lincoln Arts Centre every day of the Festival.
