Subjects will range from the power of photography, film and creativity to communicate climate stories in relation to the sublime, resilience, innovation and crisis, the importance of film and photography within geographical research, expeditions and fieldwork, to the role of forests in tackling societies challenges and much more. 

The Society aims to provide automatically-generated captions for all event recordings. The captions appear as text at the bottom of the video which you can toggle on and off. The accuracy of automatically-generated captions varies depending on the audio quality, any specialist language used and the speaker. They are therefore are unlikely to be 100% accurate and the Society does not edit or correct automatically-generated captions.
