UAL Climate Emergency Network: Call for Co-Chairs

Interested in helping shape the next chapter of the Climate Emergency Network at UAL?

Join this short online briefing to hear about our plans to re-establish CEN as a staff network in 2026, what the co-chair roles involves in terms of time commitment and priorities, and how to apply.

The Climate Emergency Network was established in 2019 as UAL’s primary climate community. It has acted as a space to connect colleagues across colleges and services, share practices, and turn climate commitments into practical, creative actions. Critically, CEN also convenes peer learning and collaboration, works with external partners, and shapes flagship moments like Earth Week, to bring together talks, workshops, staff- and student-led activity, and visible interventions across campus.

From 2026, CEN is moving into becoming a more formal, recognised UAL staff network. This will strengthen our ability to plan year-round work and sustain activity. But it also brings new responsibilities, including some light-touch budget management and governance.

If you’re looking for a way to develop your leadership in a values-led, collective setting and to help shape how UAL responds to the climate and ecological emergency through practice, pedagogy and culture, we’d encourage you to apply. This online briefing is a simple first step: come to learn more about the vision of CEN, understand what support is in place, ask questions openly, and get a feel for whether the co-chair role is right for you.

Note: This event is open and relevant to UAL Staff only. Please only register if you are a staff member at the University.
