On 11th of August, Russell Dalgleish took to the stage to help drive change in Scotland through empowerment of its young people at The South of Scotland Decarbonisation Challenge, Galashiels. The event co-hosted by Borders College, South of Scotland Enterprise and Fuel Change saw presenters discuss the latest challenges and also the business benefits to be accrued by joining the drive to a NetZero future.
"Too many organisations see net zero as important but not urgent; as a cost rather than an opportunity. But the next generation are increasingly voting with their feet. They want prosperity with a purpose, and they want to work for organisations who think the same way. By unleashing this talent, often hidden talent, sustainability can become a force for good, organisations can thrive, businesses can become better." - Fuel Change
Russell was delighted to present alongside fellow speakers Jane Grant, David Reid, Sarah Gibbens, representatives from Booth Welsh and the young people who are the real stars of this programme.

"Your support and facilitation today Russell was very much appreciated and, more to the point, highly effective. Provoked an excellent session to ensure the Fuel Change programme lands well within the Scottish Borders and Dumfries and Galloway. The challenge to create a programme which is accessible to the next generation right across all business from micro's to corporates is a good one and the leadership from Richard Smith from South of Scotland Enterprise was welcomed." - David Reid, Chief Executive of Fuel Change
