For our first event of the newly formed Sustainability Early Careers Network, techUK is pleased to have Helena Bennet, Head of Climate Policy at Green Alliance to speak with members about her area of expertise.
This session will consist of an introduction to the broad climate policies which are shaping action internationally and in the UK, explaining the linkages between broader sustainability initiatives and the mechanisms by which progress is achieved in the public policy space.
Helena has then offered to discuss her career in sustainability and take questions from the group in a short Q&A session.
This session is open to techUK members and non-members working in the sustainability/tech space.
