Temple’s recent appointment from the Department for Transport (DfT) as advisers on specialist engineering, carbon and cost benchmarking is one of several infrastructure carbon management projects, which follow PAS 2080 guidance.
As part of this project along with WSP, Temple will be providing expert advice, on business case support, strategic planning and appraisal, transport operations and performance, commercial advice for transport and transport infrastructure, and asset advice. A big part of the project will be supporting the DfT in realising their ambition to meet future climate goals and be guided by the principles of PAS 2080 which is the foremost industry-wide standard for carbon management, taking climate mitigation measures forward, and making a valuable contribution to zero carbon target in 2050.
PAS (Publicly Available Specification) 2080 was introduced to increase understanding of whole life carbon management within the infrastructure sector. It is a global standard for managing infrastructure carbon and was created to ensure World Trade Organisation requirements are met.
Temple’s expanding climate change team means we are looking to support more clients in realising their ambition to meet future climate goals.
