“Enhancing environmental and sustainability skills is an essential investment to secure the full social and economic benefits from transitioning to low-carbon and climate-resilient economies,” said Tim Balcon, IEMA chief executive, on the day the letter was published, “IEMA is committed to developing skills, collaborating across key sectors, and supporting the delivery and ambition of the Paris Agreement”.
