Events

Future of London, supported by EDF Energy, are hosting a suite of events addressing the specific challenges boroughs face in implementing the Green Deal and ECO in London. The overarching question driving the events is: How can Boroughs drive demand for the Green Deal?

The sessions are designed for 20-30 people from the Future of London network, predominantly borough practitioners, but also government bodies, housing providers, academics and community organisations. They are an opportunity for people to share their opinions and experiences, which are a valuable contribution to the research. Summaries of the events are available online within a week of the event.

If you are interested in attending, please contact Jo for further information at Joanna@futureoflondon.org.uk. While we would encourage people to attend all three events, you are welcome to sign up for one or two.
