Chair of Highland Council's Climate Change Working Group, Cllr Trish Robertson, said: "We have an opportunity to get together again to learn more about what we can do to address the climate emergency, building on the successful online conference we hosted last year.
"Within the context of COP26 being held in Glasgow, this is set to be the most important and impactful climate change conference we have ever held."
This year's conference and associated workshops will all take place online and over two days. It will be completely free to attend.
It will feature speakers from Government, organisations, climate groups, community groups and individuals taking action to tackle the climate and ecological emergency.
