Dear Sir/Madam
I would like to invite you to Mott MacDonald’s annual Carbon Crunch event which will focus on practical steps the infrastructure industry can take to achieve net-zero carbon.
More than a year after the UK government’s commitment to cut national greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero, the importance of evidence-based, attainable carbon reduction solutions and coherent, long-term strategies has never been more critical.
Over the past seven years, our Carbon Crunch events have provided an opportunity to ask the tough questions about carbon reduction, host animated discussions and share cutting-edge practice. This November the event moves from its usual home at the Institution of Civil Engineers to a series of online talks split across four consecutive days. You can join us for all four days or just one – the choice is yours.
All times are GMT.
Monday 16 November 12:00-13:00
What has the industry achieved so far, and what more is needed?
It’s seven years since the Infrastructure Carbon Review was launched, calling for the industry to cut emissions, explaining how and setting out the commercial benefits. Join us to review the progress made and identify where to focus further action.
