Mitigating for and adapting to climate change is a key focus for ISEP. Through the Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Network, we seek to distill and share best practice in this area, with insights from a range of sectors, to enable ISEP members to tackle climate change in their work and personal life.
The Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Network is led by a steering group of members from different sectors of the economy. The role of the steering group is to oversee the delivery of an annual work programme of activities, including webinars, workshops, reports and much more.
Opting to become a member of the network means you'll receive updates about developments in this sphere and the work of the steering group, invitations to apply to join the steering group or get involved in other ways, requests to participate in consultations, and notification of relevant webinars and other ISEP or external events.

Climate change is a change in the long-term distribution and severity of weather patterns caused by changes in global temperature.
Reduce the magnitude of climate change. This means decarbonising economies using cleaner energy sources, such as renewables, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, building a smart electrical grid, investing in carbon capture and storage/utilisation (CCS) and potentially other technologies that remove GHG from the atmosphere (i.e. sequestration).
Adapt to the consequences of a changing climate and limit vulnerability. This means preparing to live with the effects of climate change, some of which are underway or inevitable. Adaptation is both a technical and a political challenge. Technical adaptation means transforming our relationship with nature as nature transforms. Examples include:
