Online Conference – The Climate & Ecological Emergency: Taking Action Together

Fri 13 Nov 2020 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM STOP PRESS: We received info about this event too late for our Friday newsletter edition – but our daily readers will have seen it. We are hoping to be able to post links to recorded sessions soon.

Has your organisation declared a Climate (and Ecological) Emergency, committing to radically reduce its emissions and improve biodiversity by 2030? Are you a concerned activist or organisation focussed on ensuring the necessary climate action is taken in your locality?

This online conference from Climate Emergency UK will explore how councils, other public organisations, businesses, charities and communities can all work together to develop radical Action Plans to deliver on these commitments
