Seminar Presentation - How can the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) use environmental regulation to help drive a fundamental transformation of our economy? - Terry A’Hearn

How can SEPA use environmental regulation to help drive a fundamental transformation of our economy? Terry A’Hearn describes how ‘One Planet Prosperity’ is designed to achieve this ambitious aim.

Terry has over twenty years experience in the environment profession, having held senior roles in Melbourne with the Environment Protection Authority in the Australian state of Victoria, in London with the global consulting firm WSP and, most recently, in Belfast as Chief Executive of the Northern Ireland Environment Agency before he joined SEPA.  In all this work, Terry has strongly focussed on bringing environmental and economic aims together, supporting business and social innovation and getting tougher with the worst environmental performers.  Terry is a Senior Associate at the Cambridge Programme for Sustainability Leadership, a member of the Advisory Board of the Global Footprint Network and a Fellow of the UK Institute of Directors.

Presentation given in Edinburgh, 3 October 2019.
