OxCAN Connect (Saturday AM) - "our local net zero stories"

These informal sessions are a chance to get to know each other, share ideas and make connections. Each month we’ll break into groups to discuss a key topic, and will finish with a Q&A for any questions as we get started as a network.

July's topic will be "local net zero stories". We'll kick off with some updates from committee members involved in decarbonising their cities or organisations. They will share with you insights from their work to encourage you to think how you can be involved at a local level - whether as an individual or as an organisation. Short presentations from our speakers will be followed by a moderated discussion.
