21st Century Challenges
engaging with the issues
21st Century Challenges is a series of thought-provoking discussions that aim to improve public understanding of, and engagement with, some of the key issues likely to affect our lives and society in the coming years.
As part of the Royal Geographical Society, the series will help people make their own informed decisions and judgements on the most important challenges of the 21st century.
There are five live Challenge events held each year at the Society's headquarters in South Kensington, London.
