Nature, Climate Justice and Access: Reimagining Who Environmentalism Is For with Dr Mya-Rose Craig

Sustainable Futures is delighted to invite you to the Albatross Lecture 2026: Nature and Climate Justice, a cornerstone of the Sustainable Futures events programme.

On Wednesday, 24 June 2026, join us for an inspiring talk by the renowned Mya-Rose Craig (Birdgirl). As a British-Bangladeshi ornithologist, diversity activist, and one of the UK’s most prominent young voices in environmental justice, Dr Craig will deliver a keynote titled: “Nature, Climate Justice and Access: Reimagining Who Environmentalism Is For.”

In this talk, Dr Craig will explore how the climate and biodiversity crises are deeply interconnected with social justice, access, and representation. Drawing on her global advocacy and her work with the Black2Nature, she will challenge us to rethink who environmentalism is for and how we can build a movement that centres diverse and Indigenous voices.
