The Global Environment 2007
London, UK - Engage with those from a wide range of sectors and from across the world who are leading the debate on the key challenges of our time.
Over the past year we have seen extreme flooding in the UK and parts of Asia, the driest months on record in parts of Australia, one of the poorest ski seasons in years due to unseasonably warm temperatures and have been warned that the number of environmental refugees will be 100million by 2010.On the positive side, we have seen China successfully combating desertification, the first draft of the UK’s Climate Change Bill, the implementation of the WEEE Directive and the prioritisation of responding to climate change for companies, policy makers and the general public.
This year, CIWEM’s annual conference is bringing together a wider than ever cross-section of society to discuss these major challenges that we face.We are joined by Government representatives,key decisionmakers, business leaders, religious and cultural figures, artists, academics, students, young environmental professionals, entrepreneurs and grassroots organisations from across the world.
Over the three days,we will be addressing climate change, flood risk management, urbanisation, environmental management, artists’ contributions to sustainability, faith, the Olympics, a sustainable water industry, waste management and the role of expert witnesses. And then in the evening we will be celebrating and socialising, not least with the eagerly anticipated tour of historic Westminster pubs, led by CIWEM’s Executive Director Nick Reeves.
Join us to engage with those from a wide range of sectors and from across the world who are leading the debate on the key challenges of our time. This is an ideal opportunity to gain new perspectives, forge new relationships and accelerate your own learning. The conference provides accredited training for CPD. This event is for anyone who wants to be part of the solution and help shape future policies. Join us to meet, learn from and work with those who are leading and influencing the debate.
