The Decarbonisation Dialogue: November informal knowledge-sharing session
Event details
This event is for public sector attendees only.
The Decarbonisation Dialogue
The public sector has an important role to play in reaching the UK’s net zero 2050 target. Organisations across the country are paving the way towards these ambitions through capital works programmes designed to reduce the carbon emissions associated with their estate.
Fundamental to the success of these projects is collaboration to facilitate the sharing of knowledge, expertise and experience and to openly discuss the challenges, opportunities, insights and successes that these projects face.
Following an inaugural session earlier this year, we’re hosting another one-hour collaboration session – the decarbonisation dialogue – via Teams webinar.
The event will provide you with an opportunity to listen, learn, contribute, question and discuss all things decarbonisation and energy efficiency with fellow public sector counterparts.
About our speakers
Our speakers have a breadth of experience delivering projects with government funding support through Salix and will share their insights and experiences with attendees during the session.
