Future Leaders Network
The Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) Future Leaders Network is a new and evolving network bringing together early career professionals working on GGR in the UK.
Originating as part of CO2RE, the network encompasses researchers, innovators and GGR solution developers, policy thinkers, consultants, corporates, trade associations, and many other emerging perspectives from across the GGR landscape.
We aim to create a diverse community of members and provide spaces to convene, share ideas, develop new perspectives, and build capacity to advance UK GGR.
Our vision and mission
Our vision
We envision a cohort of multidisciplinary leaders who collaborate to drive forward an impactful GGR system within the UK and beyond.
Our mission
We will harness our diverse skills and expertise to build capacity amongst early career GGR professionals from the bottom up – through events, collaborative projects, knowledge exchange, informal networking, and other experimental approaches.
Why join the Future Leaders Network?
Our members become part of a unique community of GGR practitioners, who convene regularly to engage in a varied calendar of events targeted at building the skills and capabilities needed by future leaders.
Members have access to funding and resources to support their own professional development, as well as the opportunity to participate in collaborative ‘microfinance’ projects to deliver small-scale experiments or programmes that support GGR development.
The Future Leaders Network is also a social space for informal networking with colleagues and peers.
