Event

Chaired by Professor David Alexander, the Humanitarian Summit will explore a range of climate change issues that can contribute to humanitarian crises, including energy poverty, health, and migration. Delivered through a combination of panel discussion, student-led debate, plenary talks, and interactive workshop, experts from across UCL will explore recent research findings in preparation for the UN Climate Change Conference COP26.

This event will also be the launch of UCL’s new BSc in Global Humanitarian Studies, a unique programme that aims to educate and train students for a career in the humanitarian sector.
