This initial workshop will focus on Climate Change in Alpine mountain areas.

Have you ever worried about the impact of the outdoors industry on climate change? 

Are you concerned that the education you provide your clients on climate change is outweighed by the impact of them travelling to take a trip with you?

Would you like to learn about the most effective actions we can all take to have a positive impact on the climate and how to discuss these with your clients?

Join researchers from the climate research charity Giving Green, and business sustainability adviser Jennifer Stretton to answer these questions.

The presentation will include an interactive activity and Q&A.
