In pictures: Thought-provoking discussions and expert insight as Northern Ireland Green Skills conference is held in Europa Hotel, Belfast

The conference, held in the Europa Hotel, Belfast, was organised by National World Events, part of the same company as Northern Ireland World.

It was the first time the conference has been held in Northern Ireland.

The landmark event facilitated key discussions from policymakers, industry leaders, educators, and media on the challenges and opportunities facing the region as we accelerate towards a net-zero future.

Among those who took part were keynote speaker DfE permanent secretary Ian Snowden and Gordon Parkes from NIE Networks, the Chair of the Green Skills Delivery Group, who delivered a presentation on the group’s recently published Action Plan.

The conference also included panel discussions and networking opportunities.
