Our first three events in the Climate Solutions for Cumbrian Landscapes webinar series have proved incredibly popular, with each event being very nearly fully booked 

The hour-long webinars have been driven by a packed programme of expert speakers highlighting the vital role Cumbria’s landscape plays in tackling the climate emergency. So far, the series has discussed the importance of trees, peatlands and rivers, with speakers sharing the results of extensive research, right through to how that applies to local, real-life projects currently in progress and how that is making a real impact in reducing emissions, sequestering and storing carbon and supporting nature recovery. Combining facts, figures, scientific data and expert opinion, the webinars give a compelling snapshot of the current situation in Cumbria. 

The next in the series, ‘Hedgerows’ on 14 March will provide a glimpse into an ancient natural habitat providing wildlife corridors and valuable carbon storage. Owing to the popularity of the series, we’ve organised a fifth event ‘Coastlines’ on 28 April, which will dive into Cumbria’s rugged west coast, stretching from Morecambe Bay to the Solway Firth. 

The events are free to attend, but places are limited and must be booked in advance. To guarantee your place, visit www.cafs.org.uk/events.  

If you can’t attend the event on the day, all events are recorded and are available on a dedicated playlist on CAfS YouTube channel. 

The events support the work of Zero Carbon Cumbria Partnership to develop ambitious and achievable emission reduction pathways for Cumbria, working towards the Partnership’s goal of net zero by 2037.
