Climate Network Think-In
Bankside is championed for its distinct character and for thinking differently – why should this be any different when it comes to the climate crisis?
For Earth Day 2023 we’re hosting our Climate Network Think-In to bring Banksiders together as we explore, learn and share ideas for driving climate action. The theme for Earth Day this year is ‘Invest in our Planet’ – encouraging us to think about how we use our resources to take action on climate change. Whether that’s how we invest our time, our interests, our skills, or our finances.
We’ll hear a short presentation from each of our speakers with the chance to explore these topics in more depth through a Panel Discussion and Q&A. There will then be an opportunity to share your own ideas and explore opportunities to collaborate with local businesses in our breakout session.
Read on to meet the speakers, view the details for the event and explore the agenda.
