WEB0513 - Smarter Environmental Regulation – update from Defra

The webinar provides members with the opportunity to hear directly from the Defra on phase 1 of its Smarter Environmental Regulation Review, with a focus on developing smarter guidance and data reporting.

As part of the Government’s Smarter Environmental Regulation Review, Defra is consulting on new approaches to Guidance and Data Reporting. Defra guidance is being rationalised over the next year, cancelling guidance that is no longer required, and simplifying the rest, making it as clear as possible what businesses need to do to stay compliant with environmental law. It will also make sure all the guidance is on one website- gov.uk, the UK government’s new single portal for all government related business.

SE0513-How Much!? An overview of the draft Sentencing Council Guideline for Environmental Offences which will mean significant i

This briefing will outline the very significant changes that the new approach to sentencing will introduce. It is fair to describe the new Guideline as a 'game changer' that will have the effect of pushing environmental compliance a long way up the board room agenda.

Following on from the Webinar at the beginning of May, these sessions will offer the opportunity for some more detailed discussion of the proposals. There will be note takers present to keep a record of the discussions for the purposes of pulling together a response to the consultation. Please ensure you have considered the consultation document before the events - please focus on questions 1-11. The consultation document can be accessed via the following link: www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk

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.
