Quiz the University of Reading experts: Climate change and the environment
Event Information
About this Event
Do you have a burning question on climate change or on how climate affects our lives in Reading and the UK? As part of the Reading Climate Festival, you have a unique opportunity to hear about the exciting and vital climate research going on at the University of Reading and to talk to the experts about their work.
Over three nights during the Festival, we will be running ‘Quiz the Experts’ sessions between 8 and 9pm. Each night has a different theme, covering a different aspect of climate science. All welcome.
Climate change and the environment
