Nesta, the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, is staging a series of events over the autumn and winter examining domestic decarbonisation. One event each month, from October through February, will look at the challenges and opportunities to consumers, businesses and government in battling climate change by making changes close to home.
The series, Making the Switch Towards Cleaner, Greener Homes opens on 26th October with Going Green: How do we win public support for the transition? And brings in a range of industry and policy experts like Ravi Gurumurthy (Nesta CEO), Christ Stark (Chief Executive, Committee on Climate Change), Lucy Yu (CEO, Centre for Net Zero – Octopus Energy) and Sarah Allan (Director of Building Capacity and Standards, Involve).
