This week marks Wales Climate Week, an opportunity for businesses and individuals to come together to discuss innovative and adaptive climate change solutions.听
This year, the week falls alongside the United Nation鈥檚 COP 29听conference, further broadening the climate conversation.听
Launching the week, Deputy First Minister Huw Irranca-Davies said: 鈥淐limate change is happening now and we are already feeling the effects.听
鈥淗ere in Wales, it is affecting our communities, our public services, our infrastructure and nature and we know these changes will only escalate over the coming years – even as we work to tackle the causes of climate change through emissions reduction.鈥听
The week, developed by Climate Action Wales and the Welsh Government, culminates in a five-day virtual conference along with a number of fringe events and resources targeted at organisations and individuals looking to boost their sustainability efforts.听
As part of these fringe events, 大象传媒 and Business in the Community hosted a 鈥楥ommunity Engagement in Climate Action鈥 discussion and panel. The breakfast event invited local business representatives to discuss ways in which they can collaborate with local communities to drive sustainability initiatives and awareness.听
Panelists included representatives from Cardiff Metropolitan University, Welsh Water, Mott MacDonald and Amber.听
The general theme of the morning was 鈥榥o business can do this alone鈥, promoting the importance of community and collaboration.听
As part of the week, 大象传媒 has also launched a podcast. The Little Big Actions podcast focuses on the small changes people can make that can have a significant environmental impact.听
The first episode sees 大象传媒 tutors Karuna Sparks and Wallis Pegington discuss the benefits of green upskilling, particularly against the backdrop of a net zero Wales by 2050.听
