One Planet Oxfordshire action planning workshop
30th April 2019 | 9:30am-1pm
St Aldate’s Conference Centre, 40 Pembroke Street, Oxford, OX1 1BP
This is the second One Planet Oxfordshire collaborative event, hosted by one of our partners, Bioregional. The aim of the workshop is to share how we are working towards a sustainable Oxfordshire, to shine a light on difficult issues, and to find ways to partner and to help each other.
This workshop follows on from the county-wide workshop of November 2018, attracting 100 people from across the county, from wide ranging backgrounds and sectors. We co-created a shared vision for a sustainable Oxfordshire, consisting of 88 aspirations (or “Outcomes”). Since November, these have been circulated, consulted on and refined. A full list of the Outcomes can be found here.
The April workshop will be a vibrant multi-sector gathering. The Oxfordshire context will be understood, inspiring stories will be told, and new collaborations will be found.
We will discuss the legacy of the One Planet Oxfordshire project, to ensure it continues and grows for many years to come.
Though the formal close of the workshop will be 1pm, there will be further networking opportunities and a drop-in session from 2-4pm for those wishing to discuss the development of their organisation’s action plan with either Bioregional or other organisations present.
We look forward to you joining us for the next stage of making Oxfordshire a One Planet County.
This event is free of charge for members of both Cambridge Cleantech and Oxfordshire Greentech.
Oxford Electric Vehicle Business Breakfast – eBikes
10th April 2019 | 7:30am-9:30am
The Refectory, Wolfson College, Linton Rd, Oxford, OX2 6UD
Oxfordshire Greentech, in partnership with Oxford City Council, is excited to announce our next event, an eBike Business Breakfast on Wednesday 10 April from 07.30 to 09.30 in the refectory of Wolfson College.
There is a lot of energy and talk about EV cars and vans. But what about eBikes? They are already here, are easy to use, and are perhaps more suitable to the city conditions we live and operate in. They don’t take up near as much space, are more mobile, easier to park, don’t come with the same charging restrictions, can carry huge amounts of freight, and are often quicker and not as susceptible to congestion issues. Is our transport/ freight solution already here?
Speakers:
The format of the breakfast is as follows:
- 07.30 Arrive, breakfast, and networking
- 8.00 Speakers present informally (standing)
- 8.30-9.30 Networking and opportunity for delegates to try out eBikes outside
A simple breakfast, coffee, tea and juice will be provided.
This event is free of charge for members of both Cambridge Cleantech and Oxfordshire Greentech.
