Stories of Hope
A series of inspirational talks from speakers around the globe
More than thirty passionate speakers present compelling accounts of conservation success. There are talks by UK-based experts and youth leaders, as well as inspiring conservation projects from further afield. We journey to the wetlands of Kenya and the reefs of the Maldives, as well as finding out what’s happening in the British countryside and in pioneering schools in Brighton and Ghana. Hear from a climate campaigner, from the engineers who have invented an extraordinary device for stopping car pollution at source, and from one of the architects of the ground-breaking Paris Climate Agreement. Our Stories of Hope speakers share their stories of what it takes to bring critically endangered species like the pink pigeon back from the brink, remove plastic waste from the oceans, and dramatically shrink an organisation’s carbon footprint.
Alongside these talks, we had live Q&As happening throughout the Cambridge Festival, all of which are available to watch back on demand.
