17³Ô¹Ï

The 17³Ô¹Ï is, once again, proud to be working with 17³Ô¹ÏCAN to deliver or contribute to a number of events throughout the festival.

Find out more about some of the highlighted events being led by colleagues from across the University, partner organisations, and some of our students.

How climate change affects water dynamics in our town.

Hosted by students of the School of Agriculture, Policy and Development (SAPD) at the 17³Ô¹Ï. 

Grants and tips for running a healthy, cost-effective and climate-friendly home.

Join MERL curator Dr Ollie Douglas and special guest Tom MacMillan (Royal Agricultural University) for a free tour of the museum, highlighting green and environmental stories from the museum's collections.

Join us to launch the public consultation period for this plan and find out how you can participate and respond.

The battle over climate data is heating up. As misinformation spreads and governments suppress science, what can the law do to protect the truth?

Join the 17³Ô¹Ï's own Professor Chris Hilson as he explores who holds climate information, who needs it, and how the legal system could help tackle the climate misinformation crisis – from enforcing transparency to holding offenders accountable.

Our Green Stories is a campaign by Museums Partnership 17³Ô¹Ï (17³Ô¹Ï Museum and the MERL) to discover natural heritage stories and share information about how we can all build a more sustainable future.

Help shape 17³Ô¹Ï’s energy future. This by-invitation-only event is hosted by 17³Ô¹Ï Hydro and supported by Thames Lido and 17³Ô¹Ï Climate Change Partnership (RCCP), with a keynote speaker from 17³Ô¹Ï.

Did you know that the UK Government's ambition is for all UK education settings to have a climate action plan in place by the end of 2025? The 17³Ô¹Ï's Climate Ambassadors Scheme is here to help.

This event is aimed at those working in education settings in and around 17³Ô¹Ï, including headteachers, senior leaders, operations leads, governors and trustees, sustainability leads and teachers.

We invite groups of 10 to 15 Key Stage 3 students from 17³Ô¹Ï to take part in a design-led, action-planning workshop that explores, maps, and measures air quality.

Students will be introduced to air pollution issues, work collaboratively using technology for outdoor air quality assessments, and develop an action plan aimed at improving local air quality.

Schools are invited to register their interest in participating in this session by contacting Marta O'Brien: marta.obrien@reading.ac.uk.
