Every Solution Starts With A Conversation

As we find ourselves in yet another national lockdown, the majority of us are itching for the world to go back to normal.

But what does ‘normality’ really entail? When it comes to the state of the Earth, the pre-pandemic normality we so sorely miss is one tainted by dark, uncomfortable truths surrounding the climate crisis.

Action is needed and, as ever, every solution starts with a conversation. 

In order to spark this conversation, the Science Museum Group is starting a ‘Climate Talks’ campaign – a series of Free Online Events, made up of panel discussions and Q&As, each delving into the problems caused by climate change.

These talks will connect you with a host of exciting speakers, from astronauts and physicists to musicians and journalists.  Dr. Hannah Fry, Brian Eno, Jon Snow, Dr. Jane Goodall and Tim Peake will feature, along with many other inspiring leaders, experts, activists and campaigners.

We are thrilled to have partnered with the Science Museum, as they tackle climate-related problems facing our communities and work towards shaping a brighter, more sustainable and eco-friendly future.
