Responses to the climate emergency: why declaring is important – and not enough
Last year saw a rash of climate emergency declarations from governments (national and local), academic institutions across the globe, representative bodies of numerous professions and industries and many individual businesses.
Why is making a climate declaration important? Has anything changed for those that have? What else can be done to address the emergency?

Martin Wiles, head of sustainability, University of Bristol
Dave Hunter, consulting solicitor, Bates Wells
Fiona Ellis, director, Business Declares
Ben Tolhurst, head of UK property asset management, JLL
