Climate Change Series: Achieving Net-Zero – UK progress and principles for a resilient recovery
This session discusses the UK Government target of reducing greenhouse gas to net-zero and the progress made since then and the UK’s prospects for a net-zero and climate resilient economy post-Covid.
In June last year the UK Government legislated to update its greenhouse gas reduction target to net-zero. How are we progressing and what are the UK’s prospects for a net-zero and climate resilient economy post-Covid?
The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) provides independent advice to UK Government and parliament. In this webinar, CCC Chief Executive Chris Stark presented on net-zero progress and direction. Chris also updated on the UK ‘rebuild’ following the COVID-19 pandemic - principles for delivering a stronger, cleaner and more resilient economy.
This webinar is suitable for all professionals, from those working within specific climate change roles, through to anyone with an interest in achieving net-zero transition.
*This webinar counts for 1 hour of CPD.

Pledge to Net Zero - Creating the business case for fast climate action
Hosted during week 2 of COP26, this panel discussion focused on how to build a business case around taking action on climate change.
The Low Carbon Construction event hosted by the Yorkshire and Humberside regional network, looked into how building back better presents an opportunity to do things differently. In particular, it provides an opportunity to address some of the challenges presented by the decarbonisation agenda.
This webinar provided a unique first-hand briefing on this important development in the build up to COP26 and outlined progress and proposals developing through the Taskforce, along with practice informed perspectives on the potential of carbon markets both globally and for organisations.
In this webinar, we learned about the outcomes of this review, considerations identified across carbon offset and ‘compensation’ solutions, and implications of the findings for those developing their carbon offsetting programmes. The webinar focused on the context of the Environment Agency.
Now that it's been almost two years since the flurry of climate emergency declarations were made by multiple organisations across our region and as COP26 approaches, we took a look at the challenges and the opportunities that have been encountered by public sector organisations in leading climate emergency response at local level.
In this webinar, Thomas Hale from University of Oxford outlined the Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting.
Our Midlands Race to Zero webinar featured speakers discussing the topic of net zero and answer questions about this very current and challenging agenda.
The second day of online delivery of Scotland’s EIA Conference saw three experienced presenters discuss their views on EIA’s progress in different aspects of climate change and nature enhancement goals.
