COP26 represents a major opportunity for the world to advance an ambitious global response to the climate crisis. At The Bartlett, we want to mobilise our diverse expertise on sustainability and the built environment to help build momentum and positively shape the direction of that response."

The function of a university is to generate and share knowledge in the service of society – and that is what our campaign seeks to do in respect of reducing climate-changing emissions. Our Explainers will lay out the key issues in simple language. Our Policy Briefs will tell you who needs to do what, when, to be part of the solution – and what you can do too. Our blogs will comment on topical issues. There will be events where you can ask questions and have your say. The lead up to COP26 Conference in Glasgow in November is a great chance get more climate action. By joining our campaign you can become more informed and more effective in helping to address one of the greatest challenges facing humanity.

Climate change threatens disastrous impacts on natural ecosystems and human communities. To avoid these impacts, we need to transform our society. This is a huge and complex challenge that requires strong and sustained action over decades. But it is also an opportunity – an opportunity for us to breath cleaner air, live in safer homes, have meaningful jobs, live in a more equal world, and protect the natural environment of which we are part. The transition won’t be brought about by politicians acting alone, nor by individuals acting in isolation. It will require coordinated action from many different kinds of people across society. By engaging with climate action, we can understand better what actions we might take in our own lives, but also what we need to ask for from our politicians, from our communities, from our companies and other institutions in society, in order to move forward together on climate action.”
