Join the Climate Council - nominations close 1 October
techUK members are encouraged to join the techUK Climate Council, the elected board of members which sets the strategic direction, policy positions and work programme of the climate programme.
Nominations are open until 1 October 2025 and we'll hold an election if we get lots of applicants. Joining the Council is a great way to promote yourselves as leaders in climate and also to play a strategic role in our climate work ranging from what we think about carbon offsets, to transition plans, the role of tech, adaptation and regulation. As net zero becomes more politicised and more mainstream this is a great opportunity to shape what the sector thinks/says/does on climate.
For our councils it's really important we get a diversity of companies and job titles so don’t mind if you’re in policy, engineering, sales, legal or sustainability and once more it is o a great way to get more involved in techUK and position your business as a leader in climate change.
