Showcasing a sustainable Scotland

This webinar is an informal knowledge sharing event for those working in the public sector on estate decarbonisation projects in Scotland.

 

Scotland is committed to reaching net zero by 2045. To reach this target, the public sector plays a crucial part.  

For years, public sector organisations across Scotland have been paving the way toward a net zero future through a multitude of projects, including works which focus on decarbonisation and energy efficiency across public sector estates. 

In our one-hour online knowledge-sharing event, our speakers will discuss challenges, opportunities and lessons seen in their recent sustainability works.  

This includes projects that have received funding through the Scotland Recycling Fund and Scotland’s Public Sector Heat Decarbonisation Fund. 

After the presentations, there will be an opportunity to ask presenters about their project experiences as well as exchange ideas, stories, challenges and more. 

 

The session is intended for public sector employees working on estate decarbonisation projects in Scotland. However, if you’re a public sector employee working elsewhere in the UK, you are welcome to attend to listen, learn, collaborate and contribute to the discussion.
