How can we come together to respond to the climate emergency? That’s the key focus of this year’s Lancaster University Exchange and all members of the community are invited to take part.

Now in its fourth year, the annual Lancaster University Exchange invites individuals, community groups, businesses and a wide range of stakeholders to discuss making a positive difference together.

This year’s theme focusses on sustainability and the climate emergency, asking how can we work together to achieve our commitment to net-zero as individuals, organisations and through collaborative partnerships.

The Lancaster University Exchange will also include keynote presentations by senior University staff as well as a ’marketplace’ which will showcase work from staff and students at the University and provide information on how the wider community can get involved.

Vice-Chancellor of Lancaster University Professor Andy Schofield said: “The Lancaster University Exchange is a fantastic opportunity to come together to actively discuss developments that affect our region.

“At the University, we recognise that sustainability, the climate emergency and our environment is an absolute priority that we all need to work on together. If you have a particular interest in this area as an individual, as part of a community organisation or as a business, this forum is a great opportunity to harness our collective experiences and ideas.”

Open to all, the interactive event will be held in the Banqueting Suite, Lancaster Town Hall on Wednesday, 22 March, 5.30pm to 8.30pm. Reserve your place here.

Professor Andy Schofield concluded: “I’m really looking forward to hearing the invaluable contributions of our community and agreeing how we can all make a difference together.”
