🌍 Cambridge Climate Week
We are inviting societies, local organisations, businesses, and community groups to host their own events as part of Cambridge Climate Week 2026 (March 16–21)!
Whether it is a workshop, a green open-house, a panel discussion, or a community meetup, CCW26 provides a unified brand and central platform to amplify your work. By coordinating our efforts into one high-visibility week, we aim to break silos and showcase the Cambridge community as a leader in collective climate action.
❓How it works: You maintain full ownership of your event; we provide the branding, central calendar listing, and city-wide promotion. Check out the Organiser’s Handbook.
💡Host an event: Register your interest/event! Submit them by Feb 24 to be part of the first wave of promotions.
📅 Upcoming Events
Workshop with Cambridge Carbon Footprint — Wednesday 4th March 6-7:30pm @ Nihon Room (Pembroke College)
The workshop will be held in partnership with CCF, exploring practical tips on food choices, travel and the many ways students can take action in sustainability! The event promises to be fascinating, with an interactive discussion with Tom Bragg and Mitchell Phillips-White from Cambridge Carbon Footprint!

Discussion: AI - Climate Solution Or Energy Problem? — Wednesday 4th March 6pm @ Judge Business School
As AI adoption accelerates, its energy and infrastructure demands are growing rapidly, particularly through data centres and electricity systems. This event explores a critical and timely question: whether AI can meaningfully contribute to greenhouse gas reduction and climate solutions, or whether its energy and environmental footprint risks undermining climate and sustainability goals. The discussion is highly relevant to students interested in energy, sustainability, climate policy, technology, entrepreneurship, and sustainable innovation. Hosted by Cambridge University Tech Enterprise & Cambridge University Energy Technology Society.
