The first series of WHTEEDFU was a partnership between Cratus and Stantec, featuring our expert Keith Mitchell, affectionately known to us as ‘The Professor’. One year on from our time together in Glasgow for COP26 we look at whether COP27 in Sharm-El-Sheik lived up to expectations and how and if it has moved the dial enough to start changing the public’s behaviour. We also discuss his continuing work on major infrastructure projects including around water supply and transport, and ask whether the Government’s own strategies are aligned with their stated ambition to reach Net Zero by 2050.
