Understanding and reducing your organisation's impact on nature

Is your organisation looking to understand and reduce its impact on nature? Have you begun taking action but need help creating an effective plan? 

Join us for an introductory Climate Action Programme breakfast with Nature Positive, a local consultancy with a wealth of experience supporting organisations to measure and reduce their impact on nature.

Hosted as part of this year's Festival of Nature, we will explore why supporting nature is important for organisations, how to begin your nature journey, and how to take meaningful action. We will also hear about other local organisations' nature initiatives, from the Taskforce on Nature Related Financial Disclosures to engaging employees through nature-based volunteering. 

Timings:

8am-8:30am - networking and light vegan breakfast (included with your free ticket)

8:30am-10am - presentations and discussion

10am-10:30am - networking

A light breakfast will be provided over networking. Tickets are free thanks to our Climate Action Programme supporters, but places are limited, so please reserve your spot.
