#102 - Why Copenhagen wasn't important to procurement in the end ...

18 Jan 2010

The recent postponement of the CIPSA conference due for 4th March 2010 (on the previously imminent CPRS scheme’s impact on procurement) seems obvious now.

But only a few months ago, Malcolm Turnbull [remember him?] seemed to have won the argument to let the ETS bill pass the Senate, and COP 15  looked like becoming a watershed global agreement on climate change.

How wrong can you be?

The ETS bill failed of course, and produced a new opposition leader and front bench from the right.

COP 15 was a wash-out.

So, no CIPSA CPRS event then. A sane decision given the blurb in the original brochure,

“The aim of this event [is] to provide procurement practitioners with sound practical advice in relation to how the new legislation [will] impact on them and their organisations”

A second-hand ETS scheme anyone?
