Charities, tech, and the climate

Learn from federated charity, The Wildlife Trusts, about how digital (and analogue) solutions can help combat climate change and maximise impact. The Federation’s Head of Digital Transformation, Alice Kershaw, will explain how The Wildlife Trusts are embracing the culture, structures and technology to support a root and branch digital transformation, and how this applies to climate action. Alice will show how progress towards the Federation’s targets is measured and independently assured to keep The Wildlife Trusts on track to reach its strategic goals.

The webinar will also confront the reality that digital solutions alone cannot save us from the climate crisis. Instead, you will learn how the Federation combines on-the-ground people-powered work with energy efficient technological advancements.
