Net Zero & Digital Transformation

During a four-day eco-sabbatical in July 2022 at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT), Machynlleth, The Open University listened, collaborated, and co-created opportunities for integrating regenerative and carbon-positive skills into key sectors. We held ‘The Skills for Net Zero’ roundtable to understand the role of Higher Education in supporting the Skills for Net Zero agenda in Wales, and the needs of the private sector in this area.
