The\u00a0#ZeroCarbonTour<\/a>\u00a0made a stop at UWE Bristol earlier this month, on its way through the UK to COP26 in Glasgow this November. Its aim is to share the net zero message and raise awareness of the\u00a0UN Race to Zero<\/a>\u00a0and the UK’s #TogetherForOurPlanet<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event brought together local companies and UWE researchers to showcase their low or zero carbon technologies, campaigns and initiatives, through a series of talks and exhibitions – the perfect launch event for UWE’s new Climate Action Hub!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The School of Engineering atrium was transformed, with several stalls exhibiting staff and student projects, including teams from ClairCity<\/a>, WeCount<\/a>, Bristol BioEnergy<\/a> and many more! We also had a visit from Explorer Dome – a large inflatable planetarium with 360 video projection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explorer Dome<\/a> have been developing a new sustainability solutions science show with the DETI Inspire<\/a> team, which will begin touring local schools this Autumn term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Glos Councillor Toby Savage and Metro Mayor Dan Norris enjoyed a sneak peak of the new show We Make Our Future<\/a><\/strong> which celebrates the ingenuity of human engineering, addresses current issues around Climate Change<\/em><\/strong> and introduces Digital Engineering<\/em><\/strong> as a relevant and attainable aspiration for all young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Z block foyer will continue to host the Climate Action Hub <\/strong>throughout the 2021\/22 academic year, providing a dedicated space to showcase the work of UWE staff and students and inspire others to take action on the climate and ecological emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to hear from you!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you doing something cool for the planet? If you would like to host a take-over of the Climate Action Hub or get involved with UWE’s Green Week this October please email engineeringourfuture@uwe.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
