As the UK accelerates toward its Net Zero goals, critical questions arise about the feasibility, funding and real-world implications of major sustainability projects.

If you’re looking to cut through the noise, gain expert insight, and get actionable strategies for your business, this event is not to be missed.

Returning after a sell-out event in 2024, the Lancashire Net Zero Conference will bring together industry leaders, policymakers and businesses to explore the biggest opportunities and challenges on the road to Net Zero.

From funding and job creation to the economic and social impacts of sustainability, this high-energy conference will provide expert panels, interactive debates and real-life business case studies to help you navigate the green transition.

Key themes and discussions:

Wind Power – Is it the right fit for Lancashire?

Often hailed as the future of sustainable energy, wind power remains a hot topic of debate. But is it the best solution for Morecambe Bay? Our speakers will examine its viability, efficiency, and economic implications, tackling the critical question: does sustainability come at a price?

The great net zero divide

Is the UK truly united in its Net Zero ambitions? How does this divide impact businesses in Lancashire? Our panel will break down the political, economic, and social perspectives of the green transition—and why it makes business sense to take action now.

Myth busting net zero initiatives

Does Net Zero mean sacrificing economic growth? Can we keep the lights on? Are electric cars truly sustainable? How do global supply chains impact Lancashire’s role in the green economy? We’ll separate fact from fiction and give you the insight needed to make informed decisions.

Green jobs & skills – The future workforce

Will there be enough green jobs to replace those lost in the transition? What does the future skills landscape look like for Lancashire? Join the discussion on what’s needed to develop a workforce fit for the Net Zero era.

Funding the green transition

Innovation and adoption require investment—but is funding going to the right places? How accessible are Net Zero grants and support for Lancashire businesses? We’ll dive into the financial landscape and the resources available to accelerate your sustainability goals.
