The Walk2COP26 team together with Marketing Lancashire, EDF and the Morecambe BID Community Interest Company will host local government, business, and civil society groups for a 2-hour interactive session on the 22/10, followed by some sustainable refreshments.

Get an update on the walk, and interact with speakers and panellists including Sam Baker, organiser of WalktoCOP26, Lancaster City Council Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Climate Action Kevin Frea, Millie Prosser, founding member of LYFE (Lancaster Youth For The Environment) a social movement which unites and empowers young people to engage in environmental and political issues locally, Tim Narey Director of Eden Project North, and Daniel Dixon Performance Improvement Manager of Heysham 1 Power Station from EDF which is supporting the event, with more to be announced.

Marketing Lancashire says:

We’re delighted that Morecambe has been chosen for this event. It’s not only an iconic location surrounded by beauty, but one which also faces the very real and near term impact of coastal erosion and rising sea levels. The climate transition is high on the agenda in Lancashire and has several world class initiatives which include RedCAT, Lancashire's Centre for Alternative Technologies;  the low carbon demonstrator being created at Samlesbury in partnership with AMRC North West;  current and planned off-shore windfarms; Morecambe being the chosen location for Eden Project North; and the region’s position at the heart of the North West’s nuclear industry, and host to the UK’s Office for Nuclear Regulation and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.
