After Paris – Where Now?
Saturday 27 February 2016, 11:00 am – 5:00 pm
In the aftermath of the Paris Climate Summit , one thing seems clear – above all, it is grass-roots action at the local level that will change the political climate to make real, transformative action possible.
Schumacher North, together with partners and supporters across the Yorkshire region, are now launching a Zero Carbon Yorkshire movement to make sure Yorkshire is among the first UK regions to formulate and deliver a viable Zero Carbon strategy.
We want to work with activist groups, local authorities, businesses, public sector bodies, universities and individuals in every Yorkshire city, town and district to design local Zero Carbon Plans, and combine these into a regional strategy that will command huge public support – then start to put it into action.
To do this, we need your help!
We are calling on climate activists, concerned citizens, business people, local politicians of every stripe – basically everyone! – to join us on February 27th for a day of Open Space conversation to help us create a vision for a better, cleaner, greener Yorkshire that will be free of fossil fuels in the shortest possible time – providing an example for all other UK regions of what needs to – and can – be done if we are to tackle the 21st century’s greatest challenge.
Please join us, tell all your friends, visit the new Zero Carbon Yorkshire website, join the Facebook group – and book for the event at: https://zcylaunch.eventbrite.co.uk
Venue: Leeds Civic Hall
