We are pleased to present Towards a low-emissions future – a webinar series that replaces the 2020 New Zealand Agricultural Climate Change Conference, which was cancelled due to the COVID-19 response.
Towards a low-emissions future comprises six one-hour webinars presented at weekly intervals via Zoom.
Speakers and topics from the original conference programme will feature in the series. Each webinar comprises up to three presentations (most are pre-recorded) followed by a live moderated Q&A session with the presenters.
