Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Festival 2019: Affecting Every Existence

CCSF 2019 : Affecting Every Existence

The Cambridge Climate and Sustainability Festival is a one-day annual festival organised by a group of Cambridge University students and run in partnership with the Cambridge Hub. The Festival is aimed at increasing awareness of climate change, sustainability and 21st Century environmental challenges, and most importantly motivating people to take unilateral and collective action.

At this year’s festival we hope to spin strands of hope into a tale woven over the years with warnings and prophecies of doom. Our theme, “Affecting Every Existence”, aims to engage the audience on how climate change can and will affect each one of us but that every one of us can save countless lives by playing our part in giving back to Mother Nature.
