28 & 29 May - Christchurch |
|
The window is narrowing and the need to step up in reducing climate change has never been more severe or urgent. Whether referencing staying calm or holding on to the 1.5oC, we’ll be keeping cool. Of course, the coolest place to be at the end of May 2024 will be the Christchurch Town Hall. That’s when the experts, influencers and decision makers that will commission, design and deliver the projects that will take us to our 2030 and 2050 targets will be gathering in one place at the same time. It’s the best opportunity of the year to come together, exchange ideas and learn from each other, all in a relaxed and cool environment. Again for 2024, CEP are partnering with the Bioenergy Association so alternative, clean fuels are very firmly on the agenda again in 2024. Details on the call for papers and proposals for the CEP Conference can be found here.
