Aled works in the field of community development where he is Carmarthenshire’s Zero Carbon Communities Officer. This role allows him to work alongside communities that are ready to explore how we can develop energy descent and at the same time reduce emissions at such a scale as not to reach the IPCC Tipping point of a 2C rise in global temperature. Aled feels that being a parent is enough of a spark for him to ensure that protecting the future of the planet should be above everything else on our agendas. He also believes that over consumption is the key driver for climate change. He believes that the public must be given opportunities to reconnect with nature and understand how food can be produced locally at minimal environmental cost.
