Now in its fourth year, we are delighted to announce that the Greater Manchester Green Summit 2021 will be an in-person event at The Lowry, Salford Quays, hosted by the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham.
This year's programme of events focuses on the actions we can all take to reduce our carbon footprint and improve our environment. The event will showcase many of the great actions that have been taken so far, what we can all achieve as a collective, given the right support, direction and funding to succeed and discuss the challenges and pace of change still required to reach our goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2038.

Green Summit 2019, 25 March, The Lowry
Greater Manchester has held three Green Summits designed to put our city-region on the path to becoming one of the greenest places in Europe.
The second Green Summit on 25 March 2019 and was used to launch Greater Manchester's Five-Year Environment Plan. The plan is the result of 12-months' consultation and collaboration with all parts of the Greater Manchester family.
It sets out our long-term environmental vision – to be carbon neutral by 2038 – and the urgent actions we all need to take in the next five years to help achieve this.
The Green Summit was an opportunity for us to galvanise this commitment and unify our actions.
