The macro perspective on climate change progress and the implications for sport
What: Emma Pinchbeck is the Chief Executive of the Climate Change Committee, the UK’s national climate advisor. The body advises on the country’s carbon budgets and climate change risk assessments and does annual assessments of the government’s progress – it’s an independent body established under the Climate Change Act 2008, advising on emissions targets and the impacts of climate change. She was previously CEO of Energy UK – she’s a leading expert in whole-economy decarbonization and energy transition.
Why: As sports organisations focus increasingly on sustainability, we’ll hear and the big picture thinking on climate change progress nationally and internationally, and explore how where we are – and where we’re going – might filter down into sustainability strategies and tactics for teams, leagues, stadiums and venue operators.
