It would have been beneficial to get stronger direction from the Minister. However, this is accepted that it is a timing issue.

Lucy Wills
Founder
We All Reuse
...

A highly informative and thought provoking day. The breakout sessions were very property focussed and it would have been great to have heard more about Third sector and public engagement instead. The venue is superb. Overall a very well organised and produced day. Thank you.

Jack Patel
Building Services Engineer
North Hertfordshire Council
...

Very well organised and well balanced day.

This could be a dynamic and vibrant exchange of ideas to empower people to meet the challenge of climate change. This has been missed to the Government's detriment.

Richard Ball
Head of Economy and Tourism
Exeter City Council
...

Very good range of speakers, perhaps a bit controversial from the Government point in terms of the New Coalition. Should be a good basis for a follow up on progress and the reality of support to achieve Government aspirations.

...

Barking and Dagenham College
...

Very useful day. Good organisation. Many 'non-believers' in climate change think that green issues are about extra taxes and companies jumping on the bandwagon to make money. To those people this event could reinforce that view. Many speakers covered a holistic approach (save money as well as carbon) but I think this may be lost on 'non-believers'."

Charlie Trousdell
Chairman
Association for Organics Recycling
...

Good day overall, great location.

Debbie Sahadeo
Office Manager

Very well organised, communicated and delivered event. A very timely event not just for me but local office level but the bigger picture given and new Coalition Government approach."

It was very good to get an insight from the key government departments on what is going to be done to reduce carbon emissions and what the opportunities are available.

Programme Supervisor
National Measurement Office
...

Well planned and delivered. Excellent venue. Good variety of speakers who have achieved exactly what I was hoping for, I have left the event more knowledgeable on the challenges ahead across government departments ,plus plenty of 'food for thought'.

...

An interesting day.
