Also:

• Find out the latest from Plymouth Energy Community and how they are using art to empower the community to create a fair and affordable zero carbon energy system with local people at its heart.
• Discover how you could benefit from the University of Plymouth’s Low Carbon Devon project which provides practical support to enterprises, including an internship programme offering fully funded placements (ERDF).

The climate emergency needs action now! Action is needed across all sectors of society – business, social enterprise, community groups, public sector and individuals.

Can art be a catalyst for inspiring that action?

The effects of climate change will be felt for many generations to come.

So how can the next generation support the creation of a zero carbon future and how can we support the next generation to develop into socially conscious entrepreneurs?
