What our clients say:

It isn’t often that information about Wales’s efforts to tackle the climate crisis is collected in one place, so having the opportunity to summarise the action being taken by Wales is valuable, as well as the opportunity to question and challenge where appropriate.

What our clients say:

“We had provided a brief ahead of the training as we were looking for something tailored to our needs. The course that was delivered to us by highly experienced trainers had evidently been designed with exactly this in mind. It was really engaging, interactive, and very well-tailored to our needs. The entire team who attended got a lot out of it, coming away energised and with confidence to try out different approaches.”
