This conference will examine the progress and next steps in the ongoing transition towards a green and low carbon UK economy - looking at the remaining challenges in meeting 2020 objectives, the implications for sustainable investment with ongoing negotiations for 2030 targets, and priorities for Government policy in the next Parliament.
As the UK Green Investment Bank continues its investment in sustainable projects, delegates will assess the UK GIB's potentially gaining borrowing powers from 2016 and what this would mean for future projects.
Further sessions will focus on the latest thinking on decarbonisation within manufacturing sectors and more widely; progress on development and deployment of low carbon technology; and the availability of finance, both domestically and internationally, for new sustainable infrastructure projects.
