Who is this for?

This event brings together researchers, policy-makers, local authorities, public contributors, industry professionals, health advocates, NGOs and anyone interested in the intersection of net zero, public health and regional transformation.

About WM Net Zero

Led by the University of Birmingham, WM-Net Zero is an ambitious regional project that puts health at the heart of climate action.
