At RSGS, we are no strangers to promoting inspiration - hosting around 100 talks across Scotland every year for our Inspiring People talks programme, where we bring stories of science, journeys and adventure. We believe that it is not only important to inform people about key issues, we must do so in a way that inspires them to believe that things can be different, especially on critical long-term issues like climate change. We can’t wait to get started, and have already organised a line-up of great speakers and leaders in the field of sustainability."
