Adam West

Adam West has worked in social housing in Wales for almost 20 years. Initially, he worked in customer-facing roles for seven years before moving into new-build development for another nine years. Most recently, he has been in charge of creating and implementing Coastal Housing Group’s sustainability strategy, upon which work he is basing his doctoral thesis. His passion for environmental sustainability has grown throughout his career as he sees the effects of climate change all around him. At Coastal, Carbon Literacy is a very important part of their sustainability efforts because education has proven to be a most effective tool in stimulating behaviour change. If staff are encouraged to be more environmentally aware at work, they will take those efforts home and a virtuous cycle is created. Therefore, he is really passionate about delivering good Carbon Literacy training because it is the main way they ensure colleagues have the understanding and information they need to make positive changes in their own work.
