M&A breakfast briefing: Zero Carbon in Wales by 2011
11 June 2010
On Tuesday 8th June, we hosted the second of our regular breakfast briefings tackling the important business issues facing Wales today. The briefing focussed on the energy issues within Wales as it seeks to develop its green agenda and sustainability commitments.
The session began with a presentation from Paul Webber a Director of global consultancy Arup entitled ‘Zero Carbon in Wales by 2011’ that discussed the challenges and opportunities for businesses in Wales as it seeks to implement its zero carbon aspirations ahead of the rest of the UK. Following the presentation there was a lively debate involving representatives from the Public Sector (including WAG and the Welsh School of Architecture) and the Private Sector (including Arup, other consultants and renewable energy companies) covering a variety of topics including devolution of building regulations, public attitudes to energy efficiency and the future of renewable energy within Wales.
