The university's award-winning sustainability festival, formerly known as the Climate Action Festival, encourages positive local action towards a sustainable future. This year's theme will be explored through activities in Climate Education, Nature Positive, and Culture and Community.
Since its launch in 2021, the Festival has gained national and international recognition for its impact, including a Green Gown Award. It successfully connects sustainability research, education, and community action.
The week-long event will feature a variety of activities, such as an art exhibition, a sustainability showcase, film screenings, clothing swaps, nature and educational workshops, and guided nature walks.
“"We’re delighted to welcome the return of the Festival for the Future. Open to staff, students and members of our local community, this inclusive celebration brings together a diverse programme of events and activities taking place from 2 November. With events hosted across the University campus and throughout the city, there’s something for everyone. This year’s theme, Hope for the Future, encourages us to come together, share ideas, celebrate positive action and explore how we can all help shape a more sustainable future. Take a look at the programme and join us for what promises to be an inspiring week."
Organisers are also inviting individuals, community groups, businesses, and organisations from across Lincolnshire to contribute to a digital campaign, raising awareness of climate and nature action under the banner #hopeforthefuture.
The Festival is part of the University of Lincoln’s broader commitment to sustainability, supporting the transition to a low-carbon future through research, education, innovation, and community engagement. Many events are free and open to the public.
