22. "Getting carbon out of our lives, through every
aspect of the economy is now a matter of legal
obligation through the Climate Change Act.
This presents the construction industry with a
terrific opportunity - not just in terms of immediate
business opportunities,
but also as to our longer term standing in society
and our attraction as a career of choice for young
people who are increasingly engaged with this
great challenge“
