Overview

The Institute of Cornish Studies uses University of Exeter academic research about Cornwall to ask bigger questions about the way that we move forward into the future.

At the end of 2021 the UK will be hosting the COP26, and to mark this, we will be hosting a Climate Assembly to consider the big questions that we need to address in Cornwall, if we are to be become more sustainable.

Participants will be introduced to a range of issues that we need to address, and then will be invited to work in groups to consider the priorities and solutions that we might collectively adopt. In the final part of our session, participants will present their conclusions to local and national policy-makers.
