Climate Week is on during the 4th to the 10th March 2013.
Climate Week is Britain’s biggest climate change campaign, inspiring a new wave of action to create a sustainable future. Culminating in a week of activities, it showcases practical solutions from every sector of society.
During Climate Week Warrington Borough Council will be holding a webinar for businesses. A webinar is an online meeting where you can “log in” in the comfort of your own desk and take part in a meeting. You can view presentations over the internet and chat to other participants over the phone. It saves time, carbon and money from people not travelling
This webinar will take a look at the unpredictable weather that we experienced last year and help address the issue of business continuity during times of hardship. One of the threats of climate change is the increase of extreme weather events such as high winds, floods in winter and droughts in summer. There will be practical examples from business about they have adapted to ensure their service continues to run without disruption and advice on what to do to make your business more resilient.
The webinar will also be the start of the events that will develop Warrington’s green business forum. A casual forum that will consist of webinars, site visits and networking to link up organisations who wish to improve their green credentials.
The webinar will take place at 1pm on Thursday the 7th March.
To take part and receive log in details for the meeting register your interest with the climate change team on; 01925 442615 or e-mail lstanley@warrington.gov.uk
