LSE Festival 2026: How to save the planet
Existential threats including the climate crisis, conflict and AI are affecting all parts of the world, transforming the way and where we live, and how our societies function. What can we be doing to save the Earth, its people and environment?
LSE Festival 2026: How to save the planet will take place from Monday 15 to Saturday 20 June 2026, exploring the impact of these global challenges, and how individuals, communities, organisations, corporations, and those with political power should be tackling them.
All events are free to attend and ticket lines will open by 12noon on Monday 18 May. To find out more about Festival bookings, please visit the ticket information page or email events@lse.ac.uk.
