Overview
Join the IWFM South West Region to explore carbon: what it is, why it is harmful and what we can do to reduce carbon emissions, particularly in the key area of estates and facilities. To tackle an issue, you need to understand it and that's what this webinar will help you do.
Your host Richard Kimber (Deputy Chair SW Committee) will be joined by Abbie Basketer, Carbon Action Manager from the University of the West of England.
Following a 45 minute presentation, we’ll hold a Q&A session, providing an opportunity for the audience to put their questions directly to the speakers.
