| Details | Defra - in partnership with the devolved administrations - will be holding five stakeholder workshops to discuss the Government's consultation on measures to reduce carbon emissions in the large non-energy intensive business and public sectors. Alongside inviting views on other options, the consultation document (published on 8 November) puts forward two proposals for particular consideration: • The Energy Performance Commitment (EPC) – a proposal for a new mandatory emissions trading scheme • Voluntary Benchmarking and Reporting The one day workshops are being held on 8 January (London), 10 January (Edinburgh), 12 January (Cardiff), 16 January (Manchester), and 18 January (Belfast). The consultation invites views on the combination of policy measures necessary to deliver 1.2 MtC (4.4 MtCO2) / year carbon savings by 2020 from the large non-energy intensive business and public sectors. Given this context, the workshops aim to provide an opportunity for key industry, public sector and NGO stakeholders to: • discuss the different policy options and ask questions • give Defra feedback on how the policy proposals, if taken forward, could best be designed • exchange thoughts with others on the proposals, in light of the overall policy context |
