Following our successful 2023 circular economy events this event focuses on local examples of circular economy in practice. We have 3 different sector perspectives with York and North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership, Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust and vehicle recycling company, Synetiq based in Doncaster.

Circular economy is a huge issue and tackling it can feel like an enormous impossible task.

There is also an opportunity to speak directly to the panellists and we hope that this will be an interactive session.

If you are trying to implement Circular Economy Strategies in your work place, are interested in how others have engaged their organisations and learn a bit about what not to do, then this session is for you. Practical and engaging we invite you to come along and share your experiences too.

Scotland faces the same challenges as England in terms of environmental priorities and infrastructure needs, but is taking a very different approach when it comes to the future of environmental assessment practice.

This webinar explores how initiatives such as the launch of National Planning Framework 4 and the Onshore Wind Sector Deal are catalysing improvements in the way EIA supports the environment and delivers infrastructure to help meet national sustainability goals. It also reflects on how a long-term commitment to collaborative action on EIA in Scotland – across Government, consultancy, developers, and statutory bodies – has helped to enable such progress.

Scottish EIA continues to work with its existing EIA regulatory regimes and has embraced proactive engagement across the IA profession to help ensure practice contributes to the nation’s environmental outcomes, especially those that respond to the joint biodiversity and climate crises.

The webinar will be presented by:

- Josh Fothergill (Fothergill Training & Consulting Ltd) outlining initiatives that help bring EIA practice together in Scotland.

- Jeremey Randall (Mott MacDonald) reflecting on how aspects of NPF4 are driving EIA practice improvement

- Jo Wotton (LUC) will provide both the background to and an update from the Onshore Wind Sector Deal EIA Task and Finish Group

26th March 2024

This webinar will focus on sharing lessons learned from applying natural capital approaches to delivering nature-positive projects on the ground.

As the third webinar in our natural capital series, our focus will move from the theory, assessments and accounts, to the implementation and delivery of blue-green infrastructure schemes and nature-based solutions.

The webinar will share insights from a selection of case study projects on how using a natural capital approach informed optioneering, design, planning and delivery.

Speakers will have the opportunity to share the outcomes that have been achieved and the lessons learned.

We will hear from project owners, implementers and funders on how the natural capital approach informs investment, design and implementation decisions, and how things play out in reality with lessons learned for the future for example:

- Did the consideration of wider ecosystem services benefits guide design of some features rather than others?

- Are we seeing the expected increase in ecosystem services like flood benefits or have things panned out differently/more slowly/more quickly?

This webinar is for all biodiversity and nature stakeholders who want to see and understand the benefits of a natural capital assessment in practice.

Speakers will include:

• Paul Morris, Director, Civic Engineers

• Rachael Rhodes, Principal Ecologist, Merseyside Environmental Services

• Julie Waldron, Climate Change Programme Manager, The City of Edinburgh Council

• Chris Moss, Senior Consultant, Greengage Environmental Ltd
