Net Zero Week 2021: A Summer of Climate Action
*“If we work together now, we have a golden opportunity,” said Fokhrul Islam, founder and CEO of Northern Gas and Power. “We’re proud to be the first principal sponsor of this pivotal week.”
In 2019, the UK became the first major global economy to legislate a net‑zero target—gone from contributing to climate change to aiming for zero emissions by 2050. Fast forward to this summer: Net Zero Week is back, just three months before the UK hosts COP26 in Glasgow. Over 40 industry bodies are backing the not‑for‑profit initiative, making this a true cross‑sector rally: a hub for sharing brainpower, best‑practice, and solutions that steer us toward a carbon‑free future.
Why It Matters
*- 2021 Mission: A dedicated platform for stakeholders to voice opinions, showcase evidence, and foster collaboration.
- Industry Buzz: Nearly half a dozen organisations have pledge support—this isn’t a one‑man band.
- Net‑Zero “Gold Rush”: Businesses of every size can tap into a free, comprehensive webinar and podcast programme that’ll light a fire under sustainability 101.
What’s on the Calendar?
*- 14‑16 July: 3‑day countdown featuring must‑see keynote webinars.
- All sessions are free‑to‑attend—no hidden fees, just a chance to learn how to hit net‑zero goals.
Voices & Vision
*Tim McManan‑Smith (Head of External Affairs, Net Zero Week) said, “Having a leading energy consultancy on board means we’ll be polishing together rather than fighting. We’ll keep sparking awareness and inspiring the business set in motion.”
Greg Clark MP added, “Climate change is the top challenge on Earth. The UK’s ambition and track record give us room to breathe new life into solutions. Kudos to all who play a part—from individuals to initiatives like this week.”
