In this episode of Building sustainably: the road to net zero we welcome Maggie Bosanquet, Low Carbon Economic Development Team Leader at Durham County Council, to talk with Chris Lavery about managing the council's sustainability strategy and climate change initiatives.
The path to achieving net zero carbon isn't always clear, with clarity over exactly what organisations need to do to achieve net zero remaining hard to come by.
So, what are some of the biggest challenges those in charge of large property estates face? And what solutions are out there?
Low Carbon Economic Development Manager for Durham County Council, Maggie Bosanquet is leading the way on behalf of one of the biggest councils in England, with a portfolio of 850 buildings. So much so that Durham County Council has been recognised by the UK government's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) as nationally leading in its quest for net zero carbon.
We're excited to welcome Maggie to find out how.
A green campaigner for over thirty years, Maggie Bosanquet has been the Low Carbon Economic Development Manager for Durham County Council since 1995, representing one of the largest local authorities in England. She supports local, national, and international partnership initiatives, and has delivered renewable energy and energy efficiency projects across the Council’s land and buildings.
An environmental powerhouse, Maggie’s a well-respected figure who’s established the Regional Energy Officers Group and the Climate Emergency Strategic Board, and is a long-standing and active member of the Durham Energy Institute’s (DEI) Advisory Board.
