Reading Business leaders made up a quarter of the over 100 invited delegates at the Climate Change event hosted by the University of Reading on Thursday 12^th January 2012.

The purpose of the event was for attendees to have their say in the initial development of Reading’s next climate change strategy.

 

Climate Change was described as ‘the Elephant in the room’ which businesses, public sector and community alike are failing to face up to. Delegates heard thought-provoking presentations from invited speakers - which you can download from here - before breaking into workshops to discuss where the strategy's priorities should lie. The Reading Green Business network will be hosting the forums which develop from the workshop discussions at the event so that the resulting climate change strategy is workable and a reflection of what Reading's public, private sector and community are prepared to do. You are very welcome to join the debate.
