Heat waves, wildfires, flooding and recording breaking temperatures have been making headlines around the world. The events in the past two weeks reflect the seriousness of the impact of climate change on the ground. To elaborate on events closer to home, a new event summary from the UK’s Met office shows that that the recent heat wave was much more ‘intense and widespread’ than the previous waves in the past. The country recorded a historic 40 °C in some areas. The heatwave warnings and wildfires in the United States has prompted US President Joe Biden to announce a modest package of executive actions to tackle climate change. These developments reflect the urgency for the world to act together and to meaningfully engage with one another to prevent the devastating impacts of climate change.
Post the Summer break we will be encouraging meaningful dialogue, networking and partnership opportunities at our events on sustainable data centres, domestic retrofit and access to finance for growth companies.
In other new, amid rising inflation, fears of recession and wider economic uncertainty, it is important for companies to ensure they’re protected against financial and contractual risks. S- Tech, an independent insurance and risk management company in collaboration with Cambridge Cleantech will be organising a 1-1 physical conversations between experts and companies to help manage risk in business growth, on the 14th of September.
