The Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership is looking for four dynamic and visionary people to lead the county’s four industry sector groups. These voluntary roles present a unique opportunity to use your skills and experience to steer a critical and influential project in tackling the climate crisis in Cumbria.

Through the Carbon Baseline Report for Cumbria, the partnership has identified the county’s major sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and these make up the four sector groups – transport, buildings, land use and agriculture, and consumption. We know the scale of emissions and the actions that can be taken to reduce them. Alongside that, we know the scale of opportunity for carbon sequestration from natural systems such as peatlands and woodland.

Working together with partners and stakeholders, the partnership now needs to build on that knowledge to determine the pathway to net zero carbon emissions for each of the four sectors. This will be led by the four sector group leads, supported by the ZCC Partnership manager, Tim Gale.

Closing date is 31 Jan – For more details, including an information pack and details on how to apply, please visit the ZCC website >
