Together Towards Net Zero - The Benefits of Working in a Cohort

UCL Minds

In this episode we explore how the partnerships have approached working in a cohort, and how the network has benefitted their projects. Two of our partnerships will be joining us today, The University of Worcester and Worcester City Council, and Essex University and Colchester Council. The two teams have been asked to reflect on how the programmes network has helped them to develop their projects as well as sharing challenges and reflections. The partnership from Worcester explained how they have gained a number of new tools from speaking to other projects, while Colchester and Essex noted how useful it has been to be able to call up other group members for advice. Joining us are Ruth Corrall, Environmental Sustainability Officer at Worcester City Council, Katy Boom, Director of Sustainability at University of Worcester. Ben Plummer, Climate Emergency Project Officer at Colchester Borough Council and Dr Jane Hindley, Deputy Director of Interdisciplinary Studies Centre at Essex University More info: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/public-policy/net-zero-innovation-programme-ucl-and-local-government-association-collaboration Transcript: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/public-policy/together-towards-net-zero-podcast-episode-5
