Back in March, the CFCI Climate Emergency Conference was cancelled due to COVID. Action, however, is still required and the CFCI is committed to informing the industry about future commitments to meet the goals set out in the Climate Change Act, and in the zero-carbon commitments of all local authorities.
Now online in December, Cambridge Climate Emergency Month is a series of informative discussions, and is free to all to attend. These will be in the form of a ‘Question Time’ debate, and we welcome your questions in advance. Please book your place below, and send questions on the weekly topics that will be put to our expert speakers: secretary@cfci.org.uk
