@CllrSam Corcoran, leader of @CheshireEast Council.
“As leaders, we need to talk the walk. I cycled to work this morning, but as a Leader, no-one will know unless I talk about it.
There is a need for pace, and I would encourage ambition.”

Money is changing. Investment in good quality green projects is looking very positive. The capital is there, and with innovation from commercial and financial sectors, we can find some real solutions in ramping up investment in Net Zero.

What elements need to be in place in order to enable banks to invest in decarbonisation technologies? Joy Newton talks about the ESG work being undertaken by @LloydsBank in this field, including investment in research and development, and in education and youth.

Question:
How do we build better links between climate and business advocates, and young people?
@NWNetZeroHub #RouteToNetZero
Lily from the @LpoolCityRegion Youth Combined Authority
Investment in after school clubs, youth clubs & community help young people from poorer backgrounds access climate education & to understand the potential to invest their future in green jobs.
@NWNetZeroHub #RouteToNetZero
The youth voice is one that people in the room today.
Omar from the @LpoolCity Region Youth Combined Authority:
Young people need to be made aware of green career opportunities. Climate needs to be on the curriculum.

Climate Urgency Q&A:
Air pollution - our towns have jobs in the middle, homes on the outside. Poor air quality is a consequence of this.
A holistic approach to travel, work, homes and life is key, as cities will hold 70% of the population.
@NWNetZeroHub #routetonetzero
Climate Urgency Q&A responses:
There are tens of thousands of young people going through our education system. Integrating climate change into the core curriculum and better linking in with employers is a key focus for climate action.
@NWNetZeroHub #routetonetzero
Climate Urgency Q&A responses:
The UK has a small climate footprint globally, but a huge potential in terms of skills and research which means our potential contribution to global decarbonisation is huge.
@NWNetZeroHub #routetonetzero
Dr Michele Lawty-Jones, of @lancslep on the skills gap.
We need more training, and more workers. 75k new jobs will be created in the path to net zero.
Lancashire Skills and Employment Hub is working with the education sector to fill this gap. @LancsSkillsHub
#routetonetzero
We need billions in private investment on the way toward Net Zero.
We need pace, not perfection, and this is a huge opportunity for green jobs and business.
#routetonetzero
Patrick Allcorn, @energygovuk, lays out the challenge.
The scale is significant, and requires work from Net Zero Hubs, Local Government, and the private sector to meet this existential crisis.
#routetonetzero
Let’s start with the science, so we’re in no doubt here.
Professor Ric Williams: The evidence is clear. We are experiencing more climate extremes. The more carbon we emit, the warmer the planet will be.
This is the challenge that we face.
#routetonetzero
Tracy Gordon on the Housing challenge. We need to be working together to help residents understand the benefits of decarbonisation of their homes, and to overcome misinformation.
