Achieving neutrality can be difficult and costly and has prevented or delayed the construction of 145,000 homes. While solutions do exist, there are multiple challenges to overcome.
Learn more in our Sustainability Delivery Group Expert Talk, which will discuss these issues and share case studies to demonstrate how neutrality can be achieved.

Arcadis Climate:CLEAR Framework9 November at 13:00-14:30 BST, Online Expert Talk |
The growing importance of assessing the impacts of climate change on land contamination conceptual site models has been recognised as part of the July 2023 update to LCRM. Arcadis has built on the white paper prepared by the Society of Brownfield Risk Assessment (SoBRA) Guidance on Assessing Risk to Controlled Waters from UK Land Contamination Under Conditions of Future Climate Change, Version 1.0 (August 2022) to develop a screening framework and model to enable an impact assessment to be undertaken as part of Preliminary Risk Assessments, and beyond. The framework includes consideration of controlled waters and human health receptors, with further updates for additional receptors underway.
This Sustainability Delivery Group Expert Talk will provide an overview of the context for the framework development and a high level overview of the methodology and outcomes.
