The Waterline 2024
The Waterline has become a cornerstone in advancing the Humber’s net-zero ambition, aligning businesses, academia, and communities with the global climate change agenda since its inception in 2019.
Every year, the Waterline evolves to address emerging challenges and opportunities in sustainability and this year promises to be no different.

For 2024, we are planning new and exciting elements to the Waterline campaign, ensuring it remains a dynamic and impactful series of events, further supporting our communities and ensuring the success of a national event here in our region:
- A one-day Waterline: The Waterline will take place over one high-impact day starting with a launch event that brings together national and regional leaders in net-zero to discuss the critical themes of the day. The event will focus on the strong collaboration of business, community and academia, and tackle the topics of priority. This will then be followed with a day focused on students, with exhibitions and the Phillips 66 Waterline Sustainability Challenge bringing industry and our next generation together.
- Phillips 66 Waterline Student Sustainability Challenge: We will continue to engage students through the Phillips 66 Waterline Student Sustainability Challenge, fostering the next generation of innovators and leaders in sustainability. Find out more about the challenge and register your interest.
- Integration with the Great Northern Conference: We are directing efforts towards making significant contributions to the Great Northern Conference, reinforcing our commitment to regional, northern and national development and sustainability.
- Community Engagement: We will actively engage with local community groups, recognising their contributions to tackling climate change, ensuring that the benefits of the Waterline extend beyond academia and industry to include grassroots initiatives.
As ever, we are constantly evolving The Waterline to support our vision, our purpose, and our Bondholders. We remain committed to bringing together business, community and academia and we want to ensure that we hold strong to the remarkable elements that tackle challenges real to us and our region.
The Waterline Summit aims to:
- Global Relevance: Establish the Humber as a key player in addressing global climate change challenges.
- Economic Model for Decarbonisation: Demonstrate a pioneering economic model that integrates decarbonisation with economic growth.
- Sustainable Growth: Develop and implement regional projects that will foster sustainable growth over the next 50 years.
