Event information

We're going to COP30! Climate repair is no longer on the sidelines, but we want to get discussions around it truly in the midst of this pivotal climate conference. 

We're hosting and speaking on a number of events. Let us know if we'll see you there, and get in touch if you have an event with which we can get involved.

Prof Shaun Fitzgerald, Director of the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge, will be attending Week 1. Prof Hugh Hunt, Deputy Director, will be there for Week 2. Emma Noble, Communications Assistant, will be there throughout; send her an email to arrange an interview or meeting.

Post-COP event

Good COP, Bad COP

Good COP, Bad COP brings you an expert panel to discuss the highs and the lows of the world's biggest climate conference. After the 30th "Conference of the Parties" (COP), we'll ask: what really happened? What was agreed, and what was left unspoken? And after all these years, what do we do next?

Prof Piers Forster, former interim chair of the UK's Climate Change Committee, will be joined by:

  • Dr Natalie Jones, International Institute for Sustainable Development
  • Dr Joanna Depledge, Centre for Environment, Energy and Natural Resource Governance
  • Prof Emily Shuckburgh, Chief Scientific Adviser to DESNZ
  • Sienna Bassi, Cambridge Climate Society

The event will be chaired by the Centre for Climate Repair's Prof Jerome Neufeld.

Join us at the Department of Engineering to have your questions answered. Refreshments will be provided afterwards.
