Sustainable Futures External Showcase Launch

Join the Sustainable Futures External Showcase Launch taking place virtually, on Wednesday 20th October 2021

Realising sustainable futures requires new and integrative solutions to address the interacting global environmental challenges. Sustainable Futures brings together the unique depth and breadth of internationally leading research at The University of Manchester and builds on the University’s track record of successful interdisciplinary working, to produce integrated and truly sustainable solutions to urgent environmental challenges.

Sustainable Futures is unique in connecting core environmental expertise and broader societal agendas to develop systemic, innovative and actionable solutions.
