LSA Climate Crisis
The Liverpool School of Architecture Climate Crisis Group is student-led and tackles environmental issues within the school and the wider university context. By doing so, we hope to encourage students and staff to be more environmentally conscious.
This event is timed to coincide with the Carbon Counts Exhibition which is showing live at LSA until May 2022. Further details can be found here Carbon Counts – The Virtual Liverpool School of Architecture
