The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) holds regular ‘Greener forums’ open to communities in the region, and in June the focus will be on faith communities.
The forum will be
- looking closer at the West Midlands environmental targets;
- discussing the role of faith in contributing towards climate action;
- community retrofit and its opportunities;
- delving into panel discussions with young people of faith.
This is a fantastic opportunity for faith and environmental groups to come together to expand their network of contacts.
The event is free, you need to register to attend:
