How can we implement significant change, in industry, lifestyles, and society at large in order to apprehend or prepare for its effects on those most at risk?
This one-day conference, held at The University of Leeds, will interrogate and respond to the meaning of ‘hostile climates’ in diverse and receptive ways, hearing from PGR/ECR scholars across the humanities, sciences and beyond contribute to engaging discussion on the topic. The conference also includes an exhibition of works from several artists.

• The risks of climate change for those living on the margins of society
• How technology, entrepreneurship and science could provide benefits for humanity in a climate-changed world
• New developments in climate change research: who or what is at the cutting edge in your field?
