This transformation marks more than just a name change. It’s a bold step into the future of our profession – one that recognises the crucial role of environmental and sustainability professionals at the heart of the global economy. Since our founding over 25 years ago, our work has evolved to become a driving force for sustainable change.
We will keep you updated as we prepare for the rebrand in mid-July. Thank you to all members who have contributed so much to the process – taking part in focus groups and workshops, and offering your thoughts through surveys and emails, helping to shape the way ISEP will look and feel.
One of the current conversations in professional institutions is on artificial intelligence (AI). For example, how can we use it to smooth your professional journey, while ensuring that the rigour of the current system remains intact? At a wider level, how can energy-hungry AI systems be used to find sustainable solutions to resource crises? Chris Seekings has been talking to IEMA Fellow Adam Elman, sustainability director at Google, to find out more.
Transform has also been in conversation with author and environmentalist Guy Shrubsole, who suggests that England’s archaic land-ownership structure has led to the country becoming one of the most nature-depleted on Earth.
As always, we value all your thoughts and comments. Many of the articles we cover in Transform stem from members’ suggestions, so if you want to see a subject covered, do let us know.
