The inaugural Reading Climate Fayre hits local business calendars this November
Designed to assist local organisations in addressing the effects of climate change, a new annual climate fayre is coming to Reading. All sizes of businesses in Reading and the greater Thames Valley region are invited to what will be an entirely free event to attend.
With a variety of presentations, a panel discussion and exhibitors offering knowledge and solutions, it's a fantastic chance to learn, network and co-operate about the topic.
Contributions are going to come from the likes of:
- Head of Climate Economics & Data at NatWest, Maria Carvalho
- Professor Richard Allan, the principal author of the IPCC report on climate change
- Reading Borough Council's Tony Page
- Akhil Handa, CEO of Earth51, experts in business case development and sustainability training
- Tracey Rawling-Church, principal consultant at Acclaro Advisory and chair of the Reading Climate Action Network
And many more speakers who are yet to be announced.
The Reading Environmental Sustainability Quorum (RESQ) are organising and hosting the Reading Climate Fayre. RESQ are a group of locally-based organisations that work together to help drive awareness of climate change in local businesses and what they can practically do to play their part in mitigating its impact.
Ethical Reading, NatWest, Crowe, Reading Economic Destination Agency, Reading Borough Council, Reading Climate Action Network, The Oracle, Blandy & Blandy, Earth51, Pangbourne College, Bradfield College, Castle Microwave, Stantec, Metric Group and Ultima are all members of RESQ.
