There is growing awareness of the importance of addressing the interwoven crises of climate change, inequality and biodiversity loss. Education, as always, is seen as a critical component in addressing these challenges. The Green Templeton Lecture series 2025 will explore the topic of sustainability education with speakers reflecting, in dialogue, on three critical and central issues.
Engaging with questions of fairness and flourishing, which are at the heart of sustainability crises, inevitably means engaging with questions of power and politics. These questions will be at the heart of this second session, featuring Professor Chris Skidmore and Dr Debbie Hopkins. In his talk, Chris will explore the role of education and skills in delivering a net zero society.
