The big opportunities for the Humber in the drive to net zero will be a key theme of the region’s flagship The Waterline Summit this year, with organisers underlining its timely launch.
News of the return comes just weeks after an unprecedented heat wave saw temperatures in the UK exceed 40 degrees Celsius for the first time on record, putting the climate crisis in stark focus. Several fire services declared major incidents after a surge in blazes and rail services were cancelled after tracks overheated or buckled and overhead cables failed. The fire service in London faced its busiest day since the Second World War.
The event – described as the largest and most important of its kind in the North of England – will unite businesses, public sector organisations, academic institutions and communities in the single biggest challenge the world faces, brought together in partnership between Marketing Humber and University of Hull. It will focus on the positive action taking place across the region.
