Roadshows, pledges and innovations: edie’s Net-Zero November enters final week

edie is inviting businesses to make new business commitments

Following on from the UK Government’s world-leading net-zero carbon commitment, Net-Zero November has offered edie readers an array of net-zero-themed exclusive interviews, downloadable guides, reader blogs, live events, webinars and podcasts, along with a brand-new editorial series. 

The month has sparked new business ideas and actions through edie’s award-winning campaign, Mission Possible. Specifically, edie readers are encouraged to submit new net-zero themed commitments on behalf of their organisations on the Mission Possible Pledge Wall.

In the final week, edie will be publishing a special innovation round-up of potentially transformative low-carbon technologies, more exclusive interviews and blogs with businesses and organisations gearing up for the net-zero challenge and publishing a brand-new “roadshow series” looking at how cities and councils are responding to the climate emergency with net-zero plans.
