Throughout 2021 the Science Museum Group is hosting a series of Climate Talks—panel discussions, Q&As and events connecting you with leaders, experts, activists and campaigners as they discuss how to tackle the problems facing our communities due to climate change.
Book a free ticket to watch these events online and look out for the opportunity to join the audience in person at the Science and Industry Museum and our sister museums across the Science Museum Group.
More events will be announced in the spring. Sign up to our newsletter to be the first to hear more.
