I want to extend a huge thank you to Tamma for delivering such an insightful and impactful ISEP Pathways to Net Zero course.
Over the two days, I gained invaluable knowledge about the crucial steps needed to achieve a sustainable, low-carbon future. Tamma’s expertise and passion for the subject made the experience very engaging. Her ability to break down complex concepts (and they are complex!!) into practical, actionable insights was very helpful and motivating and allowed for some good debates too!
I’m excited to apply what I’ve learned and to continue learning about the global effort towards sustainability.
If you’re looking to expand your knowledge in this area as an individual or as a business, I highly recommend reaching out to Tamma.
