Low Carbon Liverpool Final Report Available Here
Annexes of the report are available in the download section
We face a stark choice in the next few decades: adopt a low-carbon economy or have no worthwhile economy at all. A bold statement? Not really. Sir Nicholas Stern called climate change, “the biggest market failure the world has ever seen”, and not without reason. After publication of his report, he said it had underestimated the risks of climate change, and he doubled his recommendation for spending on climate change mitigation and adaptation.
We'd like to invite you to take part in a series of seminars organised by the Low Carbon Liverpool project. We want your ideas and opinions to shape Liverpool's low carbon economic future, We will ask:
How can we combine a low carbon economy with a better quality of life for people in Liverpool?
How can communities, businesses and social enterprises in Liverpool respond to new low carbon opportunities?
How will we achieve the energy security we need to keep our lights on and our economy working?
What sort of skills and training should we be investing in now to meet the needs of a low-carbon future?
What sort of jobs and businesses will do best in a low carbon future?
We have put together a series of seminars to explore these issues, and we want you to join the debate. This isn't just another consultation on an agenda that is already set: we want to explore how the city can plan its future under the vastly different conditions imposed by climate change.
The seminars are aimed at all who want the opportunity to contribute to the shape of the new low carbon Liverpool, including businesses, social entrepreneurs, academics, policy-makers, skills and training providers, business advisors, professional services, further education providers, career advisors, public sector, voluntary sector, members of community and environmental groups.
