SOUTH Lakes MP Tim Farron visited the Ambleside campus of the University of Cumbria to give a talk to senior executives from more than 20 countries about the need to lead on climate change. Mr Farron also spoke to students and staff at the Institute for Leadership and Sustainability (IFLAS).

He said: “The first step for learning is to be humble enough to realise we can learn from someone else. With the climate crisis we will need senior managers to learn new approaches so it’s really encouraging that hundreds of senior executives from around the world are coming to the University of Cumbria to study at the Institute for Leadership and Sustainability.”
