This is a day of exploration about the collaborative practice of using energy, community and economy for the good of all.

We will demonstrate how community energy can be used in the form of Eco Zones – a new scaleable vehicle for change – with the aim of establishing the first Eco Zone in the UK in South Yorkshire using the innovative ‘ONE Society’ legal design for tenure and investment.

We will also be joined by Professor Elisabeth Holland a Pacific-based group Nobel Prize winner, leading the way in addressing the climate challenge. As a Distinguished Research Fellow of ISRS (Institute for Strategy, Resilience & Security, UCL) she will bring to bear innovative energy economy tools to reimagine Sheffield as a network of living Eco Zones – a Sheffield Natural Grid.
