Collaborate, innovate and ignite change at Yorkshire’s first Sustainability Week – here’s how to join the green revolution AD YkSustainableWk YSW2023 sustainability blueplanet opportunity bethesolution
Developed in response to increasing concerns over the climate, waste and the world energy crisis, it aims to bring together businesses – from major players to start-ups andThe festival aims to create a unique melting pot for new collaborations, helping to forge connections between businesses which might not otherwise come together so they can share ideas and become inspired by the wealth of opportunities presented by the new, green revolution.
However, Yorkshire faces a sustainability challenge: the technology sector, the region’s biggest employer, is also regarded as one of the biggest ‘polluters’. Globally, the tech sector’s cloud system uses more C02 than the airline sector. “But it’s not all negative. We are on the precipice of a green revolution: there’ll be growth in the sustainability industry on the same level as we’ve seen in the tech sector. It’s a chance to shape the world of the future – that’s an exciting prospect.”Yorkshire Sustainability Week is expected to bring 2000 delegates together, including industry trailblazers at two days of conference talks and workshops.
A key focus for the week will be a two-day conference, kicking off on Tuesday, July 4, with focus on expert speakers delivering talks on living sustainably, nature, food, fashion, technology and healthcare. For five new businesses, the ‘Pitch it Green’ event, sponsored by North Invest, offers a Dragon’s Den style opportunity to win one of two investment prizes. The festival organisers are calling for applications for start-ups with ideas based on the UN Sustainability goals.
