On 13 November 2009, SJ Berwin hosted a seminar, which was organised by the Japan Society with The Japanese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the UK, to address the UK’s response to climate change and to consider the challenges and opportunities for businesses arising out of the UK’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

The seminar was chaired by Professor David Cope of The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology.  The panellists were Angus Evers (Partner and Head of Environment at SJ Berwin LLP), Jonathan Bryers (Partner at Carbon Trust Investments), Adrian Fox (Supply Chain Manager at the Marine Estate of The Crown Estate), Louis Turner (Director of the Asia Pacific Technology Network), and over 100 delegates.

The seminar provided a useful forum for both Japanese corporates and UK cleantech/renewables sector players to debate the future of the low-carbon sectors in both countries and to explore the investment opportunities available.
