Our combined strength is what will drive this change. But this is not just about the talk. We need to turn our local assets and plans into investable propositions so we’re bringing together the best thinkers and practitioners in this space to explore the following questions:
-
How can we unlock the investment needed to deliver environmental activity at scale in Oxfordshire?
-
How can we ensure that projects are available in the right format and at sufficient scale to attract this investment?
-
How do we do this while reducing inequality and increasing opportunity?
Our future is in our hands!
The costs of not acting immediately and decisively on mitigating the impacts of climate change are too high to contemplate.
We must implement the full range of adaptations that we know work and harness the positively disruptive potential of green technologies to ensure a liveable and thriving future.
​
The harsh reality is that for the scale of change that is needed, it demands strong, bold leadership at local, regional, national and international levels. Current funding and investment models are not sufficient to meet the demands of the infrastructure and human transformation required to transition to and deliver a green, sustainable future.
That is why we are bringing together leading policy makers, thinkers, academics, business leaders and practitioners to re-imagine new models for financing our greener future – positively responding to the active threat posed by the climate change emergency.
We want our ambitious, creative and dynamic county to lead from the front – so join us and together we can drive the gear change needed to create the financial headroom for this shift. It’s essential. The alternative is too costly to imagine.

Dr Martin Reeves, Chief Executive of Oxfordshire County Council.
