Climate, COP and Carbon

28th February | 6pm-8pm | Future Leap Gloucester Road, Bristol

We find ourselves faced with the most critical challenge in the form of the climate and ecological crises, and the actions we take now will have significant repercussions for generations to come.

At COP27, countries came together to take action towards achieving the world’s collective climate goals. What can we learn from the result?

Building a more sustainable future requires businesses to work together.

Companies need to make long-term, science-based targets to reach net zero and support the carbon reduction of the planet.

The business community must also empower and support young people, futureproofing our planet for years to come.

Join us for an evening of talks with Mike Barry, Catalyse Change and Future Leap to discuss climate, COP and carbon reduction.

Future Leap offers a spacious, covid-compliant event space with MHVR air conditioning units which take out old air and bring new air in. We also have reduced our capacity so you can be mindful of each other’s space.
