This is a unique conference that will address Great Britain's current carbon reduction position and allow us to hear from those leading and driving the policies and proposals. One of the main focuses of the conference is to discuss how public sector along with towns, villages and cities can reduce their carbon emissions. The current situation will be highlighted and a discussion surrounding how this can be improved and delivered will play an 'integral role' within the conference.
What impact will BREXIT have on Britain's carbon reduction plans? With the abolishment of DECC and the formation of the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS); what does this mean for Britain's priorities towards meeting the emissions reduction targets and the drive towards a low carbon economy?
Greg Clark, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Secretary stated: “I am thrilled to have been appointed to lead this new department charged with delivering a comprehensive industrial strategy, leading government’s relationship with business, furthering our world-class science base, delivering affordable, clean energy and tackling climate change.”
Britain’s cities are currently exploring ways to harness the power of data and technology to make them a better place to live, work and play. Cities and their citizens generate a huge amount of data, which can be used in smart ways to achieve big things. A city is nothing without its people, so where better to explore how we can fuse both open data and technology to make a real difference to the lives of citizens. “Smart cities are the future and we want to make sure our cities are equipped to deliver for their citizens of Britain. This means being smart about how we use data and technology to improve services, promote innovation and empower people and communities.”
Since making cities smarter automatically lowers carbon emissions, this conference will underline an array of solutions and throughout the day a number of excellent case studies will be showcased.
