Protecting the planet: who holds the power?

This event has been cancelled due to low bookings. 

As the need to protect our planet intensifies, the debate over responsibility continues, should individuals bear the weight of sustainable living, or is systemic change through policy the real key to a greener future?

This engaging panel, held on Earth Day 2025, will bring together geographers to explore the balance between personal lifestyle choices and large-scale legislative action.

From carbon footprints to corporate accountability, we’ll discuss what truly moves the needle on climate action and how individuals can push for broader change.
