You are invited to join the Natural Capital Group at their Annual Conference Investing to Green Greater Manchester Conference on 30th January 2019 (9.30 to 16.30) at the Museum of Science and Industry, Manchester
With the first Natural Capital Investment Plan being developed for Greater Manchester, this conference will explore how we can promote investment in opportunities that protect and enhance Greater Manchesters natural capital to support a healthy population and economy.
The purpose of the conference is to clarify and understand:
Why invest in natural capital and what is being done to support this? What do organisations look for when investing in natural capital? What are the most promising financing opportunities for Greater Manchester? How can these be delivered and who needs to be involved?
