Going For Net Zero: Opportunities and Challenges for Better Local Environmental Protection
Date: Wednesday, 19th October 2022
The 2022 EPUK Annual Conference examined the challenges and opportunities presented by the UK’s net zero carbon commitments for local environmental protection. The conference brought together environmental health professionals, local authority officers, policymakers and researchers to explore how climate action and environmental protection can be effectively integrated.
The conference addressed key themes including air quality improvements through decarbonisation, sustainable transport solutions, low-carbon heating and energy efficiency, and the role of local authorities in delivering both climate and environmental health objectives. Speakers discussed policy developments, practical implementation challenges, and emerging best practices for achieving net zero while protecting public health and environmental quality.
This event provided opportunities for professional development, networking, and knowledge exchange on integrated approaches to climate change mitigation and environmental protection at the local level.
