'Accelerating Action on Net Zero through Mobilising People Power' is a free online event forming the net zero session of our Sustainable Earth 2024 conference series.
The forum offers the opportunity for researchers, businesses, NGOs, community groups and individuals to come together to hear inspirational speakers, to network, spark ideas and encourage collaborations to tackle global and local challenges around the climate.
With talks from University of Plymouth researchers as well as industry experts and activists, our hope is that you will leave the event energised and equipped with the knowledge to advocate for and take action towards a net zero future.
