Help shape techUK's 2027 climate programme priorities

About this event 

2026 has been a year of big change for climate, environment and energy policy. A new government is setting its direction, several major decisions are still open, and the expectations on the digital tech sector keep moving. 

At the start of this year we published our 2026 workplan. It covered AI and climate, industrial decarbonisation, nature and the role of tech, and climate resilience, along with policy work on transition planning, responsible business conduct and the circular economy. Now we want your help deciding what comes next. 

This short, interactive session is your chance to shape the programme’s 2027 priorities. We’ll look back briefly at what we’ve delivered and test which themes still matter. Then we’ll brainstorm where techUK can do the most to line up what members need with what government is trying to achieve. Your input will feed directly into a new 2027 workplan, which we’ll share with members for approval. 

What will be covered? 

• A quick recap of the 2026 workplan: what worked and what’s changed
