Reflection and celebration
At this final Online Meetup we will be coming together to reflect on and celebrate the Net Zero Living Programme. Drawing on the past two years, we will share successful case studies and project wins, alongside the promising net zero actions to come that will support a just transition.
In addition, we will have a moment of reflection which will enable us to understand what actions and adaptations could enable future Net Zero Living projects.
