The Centre for Alternative Technology’s Zero Carbon Britain project offers the hard data and confidence required for visualising a future where we have risen to the demands of climate science. It helps to reduce fear and misunderstandings and open new, positive, solutions-focused conversations. The 2019 Report, Zero Carbon Britain: Rising to the Climate Emergency incorporates the very latest developments in science and technology to show that we can create a zero carbon Britain using only proven technology.  Live lectures will cover a range of topics from renewable energy and energy efficiency to diets and land-use, looking at how these can work together to help us build a zero carbon future. Workshops will enable discussion and debate among participants on catalysing action across all areas of society.

Climate for Change 'Climate Conversations'

Do you have friends, colleagues, or neighbours concerned about the climate crisis but not sure how urgent it is and what to do about it? Would you like to inspire them to take effective action now? Host a conversation with SCCAN's Climate for Change! 

You can host a conversation in your own home or with your local community group. Simply invite people, put on some refreshments, and let SCCAN's trained facilitator take care of the rest! We can even cover the costs of the venue hire and the meal. Get in touch and we will arrange for a local facilitator to support you through the whole hosting process - from deciding on who to invite to the meal options.
