Reducing Carbon in the Landscape Sector: Progress towards solutions

This session gives an update on their progress, focusing on their work to deliver integrated solutions on three key themes – project carbon assessment processes and tools; suppliers, data and materials; education programmes for landscape practitioners – and their future plans.
