Are we harming nature by enjoying it? Are our eating habits damaging the environment? Where does all the plastic go? What links the climate crisis and the crisis in care? How do we need to change to save the planet?

Researchers from the University of Essex invite members of the public to grapple with difficult questions like this, in a series of inspiring events in November.

As the United Nations Climate Change Summit – COP 26 – in Glasgow meets to review and inspire climate action by governments across the world, the University of Essex is packing November with events to engage the public on the big issues as part of the national ESRC Festival of Social Science.

From workshops and panel talks to debates and hands-on experiences, these events will showcase research from the University of Essex – one of the UK's leading universities for the social sciences.
