The University of York is hosting a public event on 17 March 2026 to share personal stories and experiences regarding climate change in York, North Yorkshire. The evening, titled York Climate Narratives, begins at 7pm and aims to connect local people through shared environmental challenges and potential solutions.
This event is part of a larger plan by the University of York to act as a university for the public good. Under its 2021-2030 Sustainability Plan, the university is working to turn academic research into practical local action for the community.
Student projects are a key part of these efforts, including work by Weeraya Vichayaprasertkul, who uses filmmaking to highlight climate issues. These initiatives are often supported by the Sustainable Development Grant, which is funded by a small charge on disposable coffee cups on campus known as the latte levy.
The university invites residents to hear diverse voices and discuss how environmental changes affect their daily lives. Full details for the evening are available on the university’s official events page.
