📢 County Durham’s annual Get Set Green Exhibition 📅 Wednesday 19th February 2025 🕘 9am - 4pm 📌 Ramside Hall, Durham The event is sponsored by the Durham Business Growth Programme and is being co-ordinated by Business Durham and Durham County Council’s Low Carbon Team. The UK government has recently announced new climate goals at COP29, including reducing emissions by 81% by 2035 and Net Zero by 2050. At local level Durham County Council (DCC) have committed for all its operations to be Net Zero by 2030 and have ambitious targets for the whole of the County to be Net Zero by 2045. According to the latest available figures (2022/23) the Council operations contributed only 3% of the overall County Durham total whilst the figure from commercial and industrial sectors are over seven times that (22%). This event will provide businesses with the advice and support needed to help them on their net zero journey. This event builds on the success of the Net Zero Showcase in 2022 and the Get Set Green conference in February 2024 and will focus on inspiring businesses to take their own steps towards becoming more environmentally sustainable. The exhibition will bring together the best of what the County has to offer in terms of net zero and sustainability. https://lnkd.in/eKW-kD5z Ailsa Anderson Kaye Collins Business Durham
