Connecting for Climate Change - Unleashing innovation post COP26: Resilient Places
Welcome to Connecting for Climate Change
Innovate UK KTN will be hosting a series of webinars in the wake of COP26, that will explore how we can work together to convert the agreements from the summit into reality.
How can we close the gap between Net Zero policy and Net Zero reality locally?
During the third episode, Innovate UK KTN will host a panel of local and national representatives whose expertise is closing the gap between high level policy and local level solutions. The panel will debate the most pressing challenges and invite you to join them in accelerating collaborative action towards true and lasting local impact.

About the Series
What happens after COP26? When the pledges have been made, the leaders have left and the headlines have waned? Then it’s up to all of us to turn talk into accelerated action.
Connecting for Climate Change is a series of four webinars designed to capitalise on the momentum of COP26, kick-starting the right conversations and collaborations following the much awaited climate change conference.
The sessions will bring together Innovate UK KTN’s network of researchers, innovators and experts who will drive us towards Net Zero. Join us to hear our panellists discuss the challenges we face, debate how we can best work together, and discover how these developments will benefit your organisation.
The series will be hosted by award-winning journalist and broadcaster Paul English, presenter for STV’s Scottish Passport and writer for National Geographic, The Times and Sunday Times.
