BVSC Environment & Energy Network: Birmingham City Council & Climate Change

The Event

Dr Sean Shiels is a Programme Manager in the Route to Net Zero team at Birmingham City Council and will be joining us for the meeting.  Sean’s presentation will walk through the council’s approach to tackling net zero, outlining how council and city emissions are quantified/reported, and share a summary of the council’s net zero programme structure and priorities.

Our usual updates on energy bills, policy, funding, and consultations will also take place.

If your organisation has anything they would like to share with regards to WWD, or anything else at the meeting, please contact elizabethg@bvsc.org
