Oxford POGO Club (May 2024): Can we meet those great green expectations? Capacity measures for green public procurement.
Notes & Changes
Many national and subnational governments have declared climate emergencies and promise to leverage their contract spend to achieve Net Zero targets – but whose job is this to implement? In this session the Oxford POGO Club looks at capacity and staffing issues related to Green Public Procurement, including contract management. We have an exceptional panel ready to discuss this issue around world at different levels of government. The discussion will likely address potential trade-offs, levels of engagement, and training within the procurement workforce. We will also consider various measures of capacity, how to compare capacity across different contracting agencies, and how changes in capacity might be observed over time.
Our panel:
- Anne Davies, University of Oxford, UK (Chair)
- Lachezar (Lucky) Anguelov, The Evergreen State College, US
- Allison Anthony, African Procurement Law Unit, SA
- Lena Brogaard, Roskilde University, DK
- Sergio Lazzarini, Western University, CA
- Joyce Liddle, Northumbria University, UK
- Michal Plaček, Charles University, CZ
- Lisa Vanden Eynden, OECD
