# Event Details - **Event Name**: Sustainable Futures with Chris Packham - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm – Sat, 24 Oct, 2026 at 07:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Join us as naturalist and TV presenter Chris Packham presents the inaugural Shaping Sustainable Futures annual lecture.About this EventSweaty and breathless, I’m slumped staring at my dripping dogs. We are three victims of unsustainability, although our discomfort is nothing compared to the distress being experienced by others. It's June 2026 and whilst I’d bet a pound that football will not be coming home, climate breakdown has come home to hurt the UK with a searing heatwave. No shade is cool enough for Sid and Nancy (poodles, miniature, black), so they’ve been under the garden hose and I’m reading that politicians are bickering over the Seventh Carbon Plan because some want to continue to exploit fossil fuels and eat more meat. Its just plain bonkers . So how are we going to fix this? Change. Change. The bigger question is how are we going to get people to change? You see, the world will be lost if a lot of good people do nothing, and in fact there are a lot of exciting opportunities for us all to do something. We can choose, do nothing – be a part of the problem or change what we do and be part of the solution. So what are you going to do?Suitable for ages 12+Free child tickets available for under 16s when accompanied by a paying adult 18 or over.Discounted student tickets available with a valid Student ID.About Chris PackhamExtraordinarily creative and prolific, Chris Packham has led a remarkable life.
