Forum gathers to ‘make Newcastle greener’

Newcastle is set to bring businesses, residents and organisations together to discuss tackling climate change.

The Climate Change Forum will take place on February 20 at Newcastle Civic Centre.

The event, hosted by Newcastle City Council, will focus on green infrastructure and biodiversity. 

It will feature speakers from the North East Community Forest Partnership and the Blue Green City project, as well as council representatives.

The event will build on a similar venture held last year.

Councillor Juna Sathian, Newcastle City Council cabinet member for climate and transport, said: “I thoroughly enjoyed the last Climate Change Forum in October, and I am excited to announce Newcastle’s Climate Change Forum will be returning for a second time.

“This forum is themed on nature, biodiversity and adaptivity.

“We are excited to invite residents from across the city, representing our local businesses, organisations and communities.

“This will be an opportunity to learn and have your say on key projects occurring throughout the city to make Newcastle greener together.”

Free tickets and further details are available via Eventbrite.
