SEMMA has been working with Greater South East Melbourne (GSEM) and the South East Councils Climate Change Alliance (SECCCA) to develop a regional Zero Emissions Roadmap for the South East of Melbourne. This Roadmap provides an opportunity to proactively and collaboratively position the region to benefit and prosper in a low-emissions world.  It identifies key roles for GSEM and SECCCA member councils and South East Melbourne Manufacturers Alliance (SEMMA) in the task of reducing carbon emissions to net zero by 2050 across five key sectors (industrial, commercial, residential, transport and waste). The next step is to develop an Implementation Plan to guide action over the next four years. This workshop will be led by Kate Nicolazzo from climate change agency Let Me Be Frank, and is one of a series of eight (8) across the region. We are seeking insights, expertise and opinions from local manufacturing businesses to help identify, refine and test potential actions for the Implementation Plan for the Industrial sector.  The sessions will be held online via Microsoft Teams and there are two potential times for you to join: 1. 8am to 9am on Tuesday the 7th of May – Register here - https://bit.ly/3PL65Ai OR 2. 4pm to 5pm on Wednesday the 8th of May 4 – Register here - https://bit.ly/4azK4MA Once you register you will receive an email with a link and calendar appointment for the relevant session – a small reading pack will also be sent out with the agenda approximately a week before the session. If you have any questions about the project please reach out to Kate via kate@letmebefrank.com.au   Honi Walker Justine McLaughlin

At the start of every year, I always look forward to discovering new webinars. Among the many webinars I've signed up for, there's one that stands out, and I genuinely recommend attending it: the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s webinar on Developing a Label Program for Low Embodied Carbon Construction Materials on Feb. 1st. If you haven't registered already, this event dives into the EPA's draft plan for developing a label program for construction materials and products with low embodied greenhouse gas emissions. It's a great opportunity to learn about one of the many efforts in play from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. You can easily reserve your spot here: https://lnkd.in/erB3FrfJ If you're interested in similar events, mark your calendar for Feb. 8th and join the EPA's webinar on Product Category Rules for EPDs: https://lnkd.in/eCGSMsAj #embodiedcarbon #epa #circulareconomy

Using CWSRF Emerging Contaminants Funds to Tackle New or Re-emerging Contamination Concerns: Panel Discussion   Wednesday, March 13, 2024; 1:00-2:00 p.m. ET REGISTER: https://lnkd.in/eyNWCZQ4 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites utility and local government staff, water industry professionals, and state Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program managers and staff to hear from a panel of CWSRF Assistance Recipients on the Emerging Contaminants (EC) projects they are planning and implementing. This webinar will feature a variety of emerging contaminants and project types, beyond just top of mind contaminants such as per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Panelists will speak to how they targeted and identified specific emerging contaminants, their application experience, and details of their project plan. We will offer plenty of time for questions and answers for audience members that may be interested in planning or funding similar projects. During this webinar EPA will: Briefly review the scope CWSRF EC funding Summarize CWSRF EC funding usage in FFY 2022 Moderate a panel discussion of project representatives on their planned CWSRF EC projects: City of Orlando Water Reclamation Division – Technology Pilot of PFAS destruction in Biosolids City of Seattle Public Utilities – Installation of South Thornton Drainage System to address 6PPD-Quinone Southern Nevada Water Authority/Las Vegas Valley Water District – Septic-to-Sewer Conversion to address Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products Background: EPA is committed to partnering with federal agencies, states, Tribes, territories, and water utilities to address polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and other emerging contaminants adversely impacting the environment and public health in communities across the country. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law appropriated $1 billion specifically to address emerging contaminants through the CWSRF. This is a unique opportunity to prioritize investment to local communities that are on the frontline of contamination and that have few options to finance solutions through traditional programs.   This webinar will be recorded and posted online afterwards. #webinar #epa #cwsrf #waterutilities #infrastructureinvestment
