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 explores the impact of these global challenges, and how individuals, communities, organisations, corporations, and those with political power should be tackling them.

With climate politics at the national and international level so often deadlocked, could action at the community level offer a way forward? This workshop explores how local neighbourhoods can become powerful drivers of climate action and social wellbeing when top-down approaches fall short. The discussion will examine what motivates people to get involved in climate activism and how grassroots initiatives can help reduce local carbon impacts, while addressing wider challenges such as deprivation and inequality. By looking at real examples of community-led action and campaigning, the event will highlight how local collaboration can build both environmental sustainability and stronger, more resilient neighbourhoods.
