"The two most positive developments around climate change are the attitudes of young people and fantastic innovation. In Your Green Future you have a potent mixture of both; we urge businesses to attend and inspire our young people."
Lord Paul Tyler CBE
"Anyone who has direct experience of the escalating demand for "green skills" - and their increasing complexity - will realise just how necessary Your Green Future is. I am sure that all who participate will find it hugely worthwhile."
Martin Horwood MP for Cheltenham
"The nature of work will have to change radically if we are to meet the challenge of climate change. I want Gloucestershire to be at the forefront of that revolution and Your Green Future is an important first step. I'd urge anyone concerned about the environment and about the future of work to come along."
Robin Ellis, Member of Youth Parliament for Cotswolds and Stroud
“There is a real need for a dedicated event like this to inform those who are setting out on their careers about how the workplace will look when they get there. This event will give young people like me a vision of the massive potential for growth in the green economy – an economy that will be key to resolving global issues in the future.’
Martin Greaves, Rotary District Governor Elect
"Your Green Future is important to Rotary on a number of levels, predominantly because Rotary has a policy to encourage people to care for the environment. Additionally, Rotary likes to be inspiring and instigate initiatives that wouldn’t otherwise get off the ground but if successful will become self sustaining. I hope other Rotary clubs will come on board to support this exciting initiative.’
Joanna Page, Executive Officer, UCAS
"The green economy is growing evermore in both size and importance, and many of today’s young people will find themselves working within it. UCAS is delighted to support the first ‘Your Green Future’ conference, which will not only provide information on the jobs available in this sector but also provide advice on the qualities and skills they may need to succeed in it.”
