There has been a lot of focus on domestic energy saving, waste reduction and recycling recently,
but where do businesses fit into all of this? The aim of this event is to raise awareness of the impacts and
opportunities of climate change to local businesses and SMEs in Oxfordshire.
Through this half day event we will be looking at the local business issues surrounding climate change. There will be time for discussion and networking.
