In one of the first episodes of Willis Talks, we get straight down to the serious issues. I'm joined by Dr Diana Taylor, Managing Director of Marketing Humber, otherwise known in the Humber region as Bondholders, and my colleague from Edenic Group, Rob Lewis. Diana talks to us about 'The Waterline', a campaign set up by Marketing Humber and the University of Hull to address the urgent need for decarbonisation in the Humber region. As the highest emitters of carbon in the UK, the Humber Region is at great risk of the effects of climate change and as a low lying estuary, the area is in serious danger of major flooding if we do not tackle this challenge head-on. Based on Bill Gates' 'Five Grand Challenges' The Waterline has been set up to explore innovation, ideas and bring the region together to find solutions for decarbonisation of the area. The Waterline Summit, an exhibition and seminar event has been set up to kick off the decarbonisation journey. Diana explains how we all need to unify and come together to address an issue that affects us all and help the Humber region be the catalyst for global change, as well as leverage the commercial opportunities that can come from meeting the climate change challenge, head-on.
