Kyocera seminar features smart speakers, 'Stupid' film

Mark Johnson of the energy and climate change consultancy AEA Group is scheduled to speak at Kyocera Mita’s Green Card Seminar next month.

The daylong event, scheduled for 9 July, will be held at 100 Longwater Avenue, Green Park. Registration is available online at Kyocera’s Green Card Network, an environmental information network.

Johnson, a principal consultant with AEA, manages AEA’s support to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) on the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) and has delivered other emissions trading policy projects covering the spectrum from the EUETS to personal carbon trading. He also leads carbon management projects as part of the Carbon Trust programme.

Other speakers set to attend the Green Card Conference include Tracey Rawling Church of Kyocera, Henry Garthwaite of The Carbon Trust and Dan Illett of Greenbang.

Due to popular demand, the seminar has also been extended into the afternoon for a private screening of The Age of Stupid. A 90-minute film about climate change, The Age of Stupid stars Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devasted world of 2055, looking back at archival footage from 2007 and asking, “Why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?”
