CHESHIRE NET ZERO CARBON CONFERENCE

Helping organisations plan for a more sustainable future

Cheshire Net Zero Carbon Conference

Ahead of the COP26 conference on Climate Change in Glasgow, Reaseheath College and partners Cheshire East Council and Sustainable Nantwich held our very own Carbon Conference with a focus on Cheshire.

With our headline keynote speaker Jonathon Porritt setting the scene, the online event was attended by over 150 people with the aim to start the conversation about how, on a local level, organisations in Cheshire can work together to lower carbon emissions over coming years.

As we recover from the pandemic, we have a national opportunity to build a greener, more resilient economy, and I am delighted to see Reaseheath College taking a proactive approach with their Net Zero Carbon Conference in preparation for COP26. “Ultimately, in fulfilling the scale of the net-zero commitment, we will need to see technological changes in the way we use our land, and I know from my recent visit that Reaseheath College are leading in this field with automated cattle management, soil-free farming and agricultural innovation. “I wish Reaseheath all the best with their Net Zero Carbon Conference, and I am sure it will be a massive success in creating local awareness of international environmental issues.

Cheshire is built on a strong farming legacy and gearing up land management to be robust, resilient and sustainable is key. Now is the time for action and to create the right environment for farmers to develop and demonstrate their farming credentials and be part of the solution for positive action for the climate, nature, economy and society.
