County firms set to drive change at COP28

Miranda Barker Elcc

Across Lancashire a small band of intrepid low carbon tech firms are busy packing to take their wares to Dubai for COP28.

Leading the march with East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce and the RedCAT low carbon commercialisation driving initiative, are businesses like LiNa Energy, Isentra, IOT Horizon, Carbon Bit, Qwala and Green Shield Group. And there are more to come.

Buoyed by support from the Lancashire Enterprise Partnership they prepare to make the intrepid journey to showcase their low carbon leading tech to international business and public sector customers, while championing the cause for global climate change management and the role innovative tech can have in helping manage the crisis.

Plans are in place for our firms and others from British Chambers of Commerce from across the world to meet with UK Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, Claire Coutinho, her counterpart from the shadow cabinet Ed Miliband and other UK politicians out in Dubai, to raise the opportunities innovative low carbon technologies bring - to provide low carbon solutions and economic returns locally.

Meanwhile I and the chamber’s director of sustainability will also be in the COP28 negotiations sessions themselves, listening to the progress or otherwise being made in formulating new international agreements on how the world should tackle the global climate crisis.

Lancashire Low Carbon technology business leaders are right there at the centre of it all - demonstrating innovative solutions, informing the politicians, and driving the agenda - wish us luck, for everyone’s sake.

Keep an eye on the Chamber’s LinkedIn page from December 1 to 10 for our COP28 updates and videos.
