WEB0513- Introducing the European Commission's EIA and SEA Guides on Integrating Climate Change and Biodiversity

The European Commission has launched two new guidance documents to provide direction to EIA and SEA on integrating enhanced consideration of climate change and biodiversity effects into practice. This webinar will provide and overview of the key messages from both guides, with anticipated presentations from the Commission and Collingwood Environmental Planning (the UK consultancy that was a key part of the Group that produced the guide).

IEMA has played a key role in championing greater consideration of climate change in impact assessment. In relation to this guide we hosted the Commission's initial research into its production within a series of session's Josh Fothergill organised and Co-Chaired at an international conference on Climate Change & IA in Aalborg (Denmark) in October 2010.

YH0613- RETROFIT 2050

The Retrofit 2050 project aims to deliver a step change in current knowledge and capacity for urban sustainability by illuminating challenging but realistic social and technical pathways for the systemic retrofitting of UK city-regions. 80% of the UK population lives in urban areas1, making cities a hub for energy and resource consumption, and potential change.
Facing the daunting prospects of climate change and growing resource constraints, the challenge for urban policymakers is to develop the knowledge and capacity to understand more sustainable ways of generating and using energy and resources and to incorporate them into the existing built environment, and the lives of the people who live in it.

MI0713-Managing resource risks and delivering business opportunities - Lincoln

The days of cheap waste disposal are gone. Whilst many firms work to reduce such costs, leading organisations are already pursuing opportunities to generate growth and improve business resilience by realising the value of the resources that pass along their value chains. This activity is the first step in a transition business will make over the coming years to move from managing waste to maximising the value of resources.

Factors such as global competition, supply risks and environmental change will continue to drive increases in the unit cost of key materials. The pace at which business reacts to resource risk will not only affect the competitiveness of individual firms, but also that of the UK economy. Environmental professionals are already playing a key role in championing and delivering this change, but what drives our success and what are the barriers that hold back the next steps?
