Abstract

Man-made climate change is one of the greatest existential challenges facing society. The consequences of this will be felt more acutely in the Global South, which already faces challenges of accessing food, clean water and energy.

This panel discussion will showcase some of the work being undertaken in Cambridge, including on how marginalised communities interact with energy from a wide variety of fields, and how this relates to the other United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
