What can we do about climate change?

Speakers from NESO energy, which works on UK energy infrastructure, the National Independent Consumer Organisation and Royal Holloway University will help us understand how to tackle climate change on 18th November 12.30 to 2.30pm.

In cooperation with Business and Professional Women UK, the Soroptimists and UKCSWA, National Council of Women GB has set up a free explanatory online event during COP 30 with plenty of time for Q and A. We will talk about U.K. energy targets and about sustainability for businesses and consumers.
