Webinar: Strengthening civil society decarbonisation action

Webinar: Strengthening civil society decarbonisation action

A recent project between us here at Futureproof Cumbria and the University of Cumbria for Zero Carbon Cumbria has explored four of the most significant barriers to accelerating decarbonisation and identified practical steps that could help unblock them and enable scalable, long-term solutions. Using Jun Han and Sonal Shah’s (2020) Ecosystem of Scaling Social Impact framework, four briefing papers have been developed which each focus on a different dimension of the challenge: influencing policy and practice, improving data and evaluation, strengthening civil society action, and securing the funding and resources required for sustained progress.

In the second webinar to accompany these briefing papers, we'll look at how some of those recommendations can be realised in Cumbria, hearing from partners and invited guests who can give an insight of their learnings from experience in advocating for policy change through collaborative frameworks, using strategic levers and aligned purpose to drive change. You can read the relevant paper here.

Speakers include: David F Murphy and Michael Miles (University of Cumbria), local charity Another Way, plus civil society representative(s).
