Podcast: Don’t Mention Major Projects (The COP26 Podcast – Part One)

Summary

The scale of changes needed for climate repair and to meet Net Zero targets mean they cannot be delivered through incremental change alone or at their current pace. We need to transform fundamental aspects of industry and society and therefore we need major projects to deliver – and quickly. But how do we deliver these major projects without adding to the carbon challenge or biodiversity loss?

This is the first part of a two part podcast recorded on location in Glasgow during the CoP26 Conference in Autumn 2021.

The contributors share their views of how to make major projects part of the solution, rather than part of the problem of the climate emergency, in discussions built around recent research from Major Projects Association member, Copper Consultancy, on public attitudes to sustainability.
