The UK Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is consulting on the future of energy & carbon reporting.
This webinar is your opportunity to learn about the consultation and to understand and feedback on key issues and considerations. This is an important opportunity to influence and improve UK environmental policy.
In March 2016 the UK Government committed to consult on a reporting framework for introduction in 2019, alongside announcement of its decision to close the CRC scheme working with the devolved administrations, following the 2018-19 compliance year. Now that the consultation is live, Government is seeking views on:
• Mandatory annual reporting and disclosure of energy and carbon information through Company Accounts
• Who these requirements should apply to
• Reporting of cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities, e.g. those identified through ESOS audits, and action taken on these.
• Complementary disclosures
• Electronic reporting and guidance
This webinar will introduce and review these core elements, and will outline developing responses from environment and sustainability professionals (i.e. developing views and practice considerations on the key consultation questions). The webinar will include feedback opportunity and will help IEMA members and others in developing their own responses to BEIS on this important consultation.
Notes:
• The BEIS consultation deadline is 4th January and all documents are available here
• Additionally BEIS has published an ESOS interim evaluation report which can be found here
• IEMA’s Climate Change and Energy Position Statement can be found here
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.
