Gloucestershire is due to stage its very own version of the United Nation’s COP26 international climate summit, being hosted in Glasgow in November 2021.

The county event, Climate Gloucestershire, is due to be held at the Gloucestershire Science and Technology Park in Berkeley, on Thursday 21 October 2021.

Staged by the government-funded Active Building Centre, which is based at Berkeley, the event is hoping to attract businesses facing their own journeys to net zero.

Keynote speakers include Dale Vince, founder of Stroud-headquartered energy firm Ecotricity, and Robert Llewellyn, from YouTube channel Fullycharged.
