With many organisations focusing on understanding and reducing a wide range of their environmental impacts, it is often challenging to develop and co-ordinate policy, strategy and action.  The Fit for the Future network is continuing to support members in this key area through the Sustainability Strategy Series, providing members with the opportunity to share ambitions, challenges, approaches, resources, progress and lessons learnt. 
 
Fit for Future member Adrian Fitzpatrick (Sustainability Manager, National Museums Northern Ireland) will give an overview of the Museum’s sustainability journey to date.  The Museum was the first public sector organisation in Northern Ireland to undertake a carbon audit, this leading to a number of recommendations including the creation of the Sustainability Manager position. 
 
Although just a couple of years into the journey Adrian will give a sense of what has been achieved to date including carbon audits, green awards, pollinators, long established woodland restoration, environmental sustainability working group and partnerships.   Adrian will also update on the requirement (as a specified public sector body) to report emissions to Government later in the year and the ambitions for a major capital project at the Ulster Folk Museum. 
 
There will be an opportunity to ask questions and to join in a group discussion, allowing you to share learning, progress, challenges and questions with other members across the network who are on the same journey. 
 
All members are welcome to attend, regardless of previous experience or knowledge on this topic.  The session will be of benefit to all network members, whatever your size and scope of operations/activity.  From organisations just starting off to those already delivering a sustainability strategy, there will be lots to share and collaborate on, from identifying collective challenges to learning from other approaches.
