DESCRIPTION:An informal discussion hosted by Prof David MacKay and Dr Rosa
 munde Almond. Dr Almond is executive secretary of the Forum for Sustainabi
 lity and the Environment and will introduce the aims of this new Cambridge
  based network.\n\nAbstract: Earlier this year\, 20 of the University’s 
 leading experts in areas ranging from energy\, biodiversity and public hea
 lth to anthropology\, architecture and economics came together to form the
  Cambridge Forum for Sustainability and the Environment.\n\nAcross the Uni
 versity\, there is a huge amount of research that has a direct relevance t
 o understanding the sort of adaptive measures that might be taken to build
  resilience in a changing world and the Forum provides a space to make con
 nections across these areas. This multi-disciplinary group meets once a mo
 nth and the general theme of the discussions over the next year is 'sustai
 nability in an uncertain future'. This theme will be used to frame a serie
 s of discussions and outputs centred on some of the most pressing sustaina
 bility challenges we face in the future and the research pathways which wo
 uld help to prepare for and address those challenges.
