It's the #NetZeroNE Summit today. And we have a room full of people who share our vision of creating a #CleanerGreenerFairer region. It's so rewarding to see everyone come together, and we've put together an amazing agenda to keep them entertained!

"They say it's just a drop in the ocean, like that's a reason to stop, but maybe they forget that the ocean, is entirely made up of drops"
Perfect way to describe the impact we as individual citizens can make in the journey to #NetZero from @harryandchris at #InnovationFestival23

@Matt_Copeland1 That's horrendous. How on earth can we protect people from that?!

[Jess Cook @JessCook_NE]

For #NetZeroWeek I've written a blog explaining why I'm proud to be leading the @NetZeroNE partnership. If you're interested in finding out more, particularly about how you can get involved, please get in touch!

If you have five minutes you should read this blog from @NetZeroNE
Co-Chair @heidimottram11 about why data is so important and what the recent green house gas emissions data tells us about the progress in our region. #NetZeroWeek https://t.co/FxJ26YYpEw

[Jess Cook @JessCook_NE]

A great event today for #NetZeroWeek and my first since joining the @NetZeroNE family! Welcomed some amazing speakers and attendees to @thecommonroomgn to discuss moving from data to delivery!

[NUTH Sustainability @SustainableNUTH]

Joining other North East organisations today at @NetZeroNE's 'An Evidence-led Transition to NetZero'.

Fantastic venue in the @MiningInstitute's @thecommonroomgn. Very apt for our need to lead the transition from industrial revolution to green revolution

It was a privilege to present the #NetZero award to @DoggerBankWind on behalf of @NetZeroNE at #CENE2023 tonight! Worthy winners, and a fabulous evening! A real commitment to wanting to achieve the net zero transition in everyone I speak to, gets me very excited!

Our new report with @kidneycareuk, shows some people are considering stopping home dialysis to return to treatment in a unit as they can't afford their #EnergyBills. Read the report here: https://t.co/Z70McOfRHl

@sustscot @NEA_UKCharity Thank you Fraser! That's really appreciated! It's not a proper goodbye - there'll be a lot of crossover with my new job I'm sure, so maybe I'll see you at the next NEA conference!! 😁

[Jess Cook @JessCook_NE]

Today marks my last day at @NEA_UKCharity after four years leading the #WaterPoverty programme. I leave behind an amazing team, so passionate and determined to deliver positive outcomes for people in desperate financial circumstances.

[Jess Cook @JessCook_NE]

@drdebutler Did you not make me cry enough yesterday?! Haha! Thank you my lovely! Right back at ya! Some strong women in our team, just as it should be! X

[Jess Cook @JessCook_NE]

@AndyWWhite @NEA_UKCharity Thanks Andy! Hopefully our paths cross again because it's been amazing work with you too! 😊

[Jess Cook @JessCook_NE]

@CCWvoice Thank you @CCWvoice! It's been great to work alongside your fabulous team on this agenda, and I can't wait to see what you achieve in the future!

[Jess Cook @JessCook_NE]

@TJClarke_ @NEA_UKCharity Thanks Tim! Been great working with you too! All the best for the future!

[Jess Cook @JessCook_NE]

But now, I get a few days off before starting my new challenge, focused on delivering the #NetZero agenda in the North East. The messages I've had from colleagues and stakeholders will keep me on cloud nine for some time. Thank you all, and watch this space for what comes next!

[Jess Cook @JessCook_NE]

This has been an incredible four years, filled with so many successes - both for the programme, and personally. I'm thankful to @NorthumbrianH2O for funding my work, and I can't wait to see what my successor does with the programme in the future (recruitment should be open soon!)
