Let's explore how we connect with our environments, through collective efforts to rescue and restore our relationships with nature in the face of adversity.
Accelerating City-level Climate Action
Harry Barton
(PhD Researcher in Environmental Engineering, Tyndall Institute, The University of Manchester)
Harry will discuss her work to find new projects that can help to reduce Greater Manchester's carbon output. She will explore how we can learn from successful examples in cities across the world, to achieve this and work towards Manchester's sustainability goals.
Can community market gardening in the city really help our broken food system?
Jo Payne
(Director of Manchester Urban Diggers CIC, Platt Fields Market Garden)
Buying local and seasonal food is one part of a complex alternative food system that we need, but the other less obvious benefits are maybe even more important. Jo will talk about the benefits and barriers of community market gardening in the city and how it could be an essential part of an alternative solution to the current broken food system.
Urban forests in the UK: What have the trees ever done for us?
Dr. Joseph Fennell
(Research Fellow, School of Environment, Earth and Ecosystem Sciences, The Open University)
Joe will talk about why and how we value trees in our towns and cities, the new tech we use to track urban forests and the researchers who study them.
