New opportunities to cut costs and carbon

Working in conjunction with the Carbon Trust, Climate East Midlands is pleased to confirm the details of a series of 'Collaborative Implementation Support' workshops designed to help councils with the implementation of their carbon management plans. These are about reducing emissions from the council's own estate and operations and start with a detailed look at lighting upgrades and controls.

Part of the solution to tackling carbon emissions from the local area is through exploiting decentralised and renewable energy opportunities through the planning system, when new developments are being proposed. A forthcoming series of masterclasses for planners will help them to work out how best to incorporate appropriate policies into Local Development Frameworks and apply them to new planning applications. 

Details of all forthcoming workshops and masterclases are on our Events page.
