Green Skills Symposium

The University of York’s Department of Environment and Geography is running a Green Skills Symposium on Thursday 29th January, a free to attend professional development workshop for sustainability practitioners. This is a free opportunity to access high-level insights on carbon accounting, sustainable finance, and change management, but more importantly, it is an opportunity to connect with peers facing similar challenges. The breakout sessions are led by academics who advise government and industry – designed for practitioners who need actionable insights.
