42B5AD08-95C3-421B-8FB4-6AB1B8D83B7D_4_5005_c

The Zero Carbon Tour is a business initiative, and is on the road in the UK in its ‘Carbon Battle Bus” now, going from town to town, illustrating the amazing array of actions the business community across the UK is taking to address the climate crisis. It will be in Harrogate on 15th October from 9.30am-6.30pm outside Harrogate Convention Centre and you can register for the event for free here.

Join the Zero Carbon Bus and discuss with others the concept of net zero carbon and why it is critical for businesses in this #DecadeOfAction. Businesses are invited to hear Carbon Stories from like-minded local people, organisations and community groups and the impactful projects they are undertaking to reduce their carbon emissions.

Shaping a brighter future is not something any one organisation can achieve alone. It requires collaborative and decisive action that will create a future of unprecedented business opportunities – finding new growth and talent, lowering costs and building greater resilience.

On the day, you’ll see the UK’s first 100% electric coach, affectionately named the ‘Carbon Battle Bus’, find out more about the UN-backed Race to Zero campaign and hear Carbon Stories and discussions with local people, organisations and community groups.

There will be opportunities to engage with suppliers at the sustainability marketplace and sign up to a sustainability workshop for your organisation. Find out more below.
