Solarpunk York: Coalition of Voices

The Coalition of Voices brings together businesses, charities, academics, and policymakers working toward a sustainable future. Welcome to the Coalition of Voices, a gathering focused on practical solutions, creative adaptation, and community-driven action to build a sustainable and equitable future. Part of a broader festival celebrating the Solarpunk ethos, this event brings together local businesses, charities, NGOs, community groups, academics, students, and policymakers to showcase how the challenges of climate change are actively being met. Taking place on Friday 20 November at 1:00pm at Spark York, the event highlights real-world innovation across renewable energy, sustainable heritage, regenerative food systems, circular economies, and responsible technology. By featuring insights from local government, academia, major infrastructure projects, and grass-roots leaders, we aim to inspire actionable change through positive visioning rather than eco-anxiety. Designed as an open, inclusive, and constructive space, attendees will have the opportunity to share their own projects, meet potential collaborators, and help build strong cross-sector networks. Spaces are strictly limited, so please register early to secure your place.
