Yorkshire and Humber Biodiversity Forum

YHBF

Introduction

The Yorkshire and Humber Biodiversity Forum is an association of organisations committed to supporting biodiversity through action for sustainable development and to promoting partnerships with local agencies, organisations, industries and groups across Yorkshire and Humber. The Forum supports local delivery through four sub-regional Biodiversity Groups ( see contact details below). It aims to provide valuable advice and information on biodiversity issues and to establish close working relationships with key organisations.

In the light of recent government changes the work and scope of the forum is under review and so in a cost cutting measure we have decided to share web space with the Yorkshire and Humber Environment Forum. The following pages outline our work programme to date and will follow all developments and changes as they happen. We will expand the content on these pages as the full extent of changes and revised working patterns develop.

Securing the Skills for a Low Carbon Future

Skills gaps have already been identified in the UK’s existing energy and process industries. As more renewable and low carbon industries are drawn to invest in the Humber, the demand for skilled and experienced workers in the region is set to increase, but what does this mean for your business and industry in the Humber as a whole?

Hear from Siemens, Mainstream Renewable Power, Vivergo Fuels, Centrica Storage and Energy & Utility Skills as they share industry’s views on the key issues surrounding skills and how they are being addressed.
