This summer is an important one for planning the country’s future infrastructure needs. We are holding an event to discuss the recently published National Infrastructure Assessment, and what opportunities there are for sustainable infrastructure.

The National Infrastructure Assessment (NIA) will, according to the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC), ‘analyse the UK’s long-term economic infrastructure needs, outline a strategic vision over the next 30 years, and set out recommendations for how identified needs should be met.’

The NIC’s Infrastructure Priorities include: connected, liveable city-regions; infrastructure to support housing; eliminating carbon emissions from energy and waste; and reducing the risk of drought and flooding. This has many applications to sustainable infrastructure in the themes of decarbonisation, climate change adaptation and natural capital.

Speakers include:

  • Philip Graham, CEO – National Infrastructure Commission
  • Baroness McIntosh- Former Shadow Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Minister
  • Lillian Greenwood MP – Transport Select Committee Chair
  • James Heappey MP- Chair of the Back Bench Policy Committee for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
  • Clive Lewis MP – Shadow Treasury Minister
  • Alan Brown- SNP Infrastructure Spokesperson
  • Lord Redesdale – Former Liberal Democrat Energy Spokesperson

Please register your interest in attending by contacting Joanna Furtado or by calling 020 7202 8571.
