Postponement
** It has been decided to indefinitely postpone the “Climate Emergency Conference” planned for 24 March 2020. This is in order to safeguard against COVID-19, and the spread of the coronavirus. **
Constructing and operating our homes and businesses currently accounts for about half of the UK’s carbon emissions. So tackling the climate emergency, requires us to urgently and dramatically reduce emissions in the construction sector. This is why Carbon Neutral Cambridge has teamed up with the Cambridge Forum for the Construction Industry (CFCI) to hold the “Cambridge Climate Emergency Conference”.
