The Carbon Playbook: UK Lessons, Australian Opportunities

A joint ICE Australasia / WSP breakfast briefing

The UK has spent the last decade building one of the world's most developed frameworks for managing carbon in infrastructure delivery — from procurement to measurement to whole-life reporting. Australia is now at an inflection point, with growing regulatory pressure, client demand, and industry momentum pointing in the same direction.

Join us for a practical morning conversation with Lewis Barlow, WSP's UK Head of Profession for Decarbonisation and ICE Trustee for Carbon and Climate, fresh from keynoting Ozwater'26 in Brisbane. Lewis will share what's worked, what hasn't, and where the real opportunities lie for Australian engineers and infrastructure owners looking to get ahead of the curve.

Topics will include:

• What PAS 2080 and PAS 3090 are — and why they matter beyond the UK
• The state of play in UK infrastructure decarbonisation
• Where Australia's biggest opportunities lie
• The role of every civil engineer in making it happen

Friday 29 May 2026 | 8:00–9:00am | WSP Sydney Office
