In 2020, Scotland’s seven Innovation Centres joined forces with The Herald Media Group to start a year of conversation, collaboration and action around climate change. Our conference, Scotland’s Countdown to COP26 on 3 Nov 2020 explored how to:
- Maximise collaboration opportunities emerging from the event
- Help Scotland – and other nations – reach net-zero targets
You can now read – and download your own copy of – a detailed report all about the day, capturing the themes, messages, and highlights from the event that will allow the Innovation Centres to set their course and stimulate activity towards November 2021 and beyond.
