#41 Crunch Time for Net Zero
Last year the UK set a legally binding target to become
carbon neutral by 2050, ahead of any other major global economy. In doing so it
took the first ambitious steps on a massively difficult path, and the road to
net zero requires a total overhaul of how infrastructure is designed, delivered
and managed. In this episode we explore the journey that organisations are
taking to reduce their emissions from switching to renewable energy, planting millions
of trees, cutting down their operational carbon and forcing more action from
supply chains.
This action can’t come too soon as the window for limiting
human impact on the planet closes daily – something that is increasingly
acknowledged around the world as flooding and fires wreak devastation.
- Recorded at the Mott MacDonald Carbon Crunch
event in London
