LGA/EST Conference 21-22 January
In the eye of the storm: councils at the heart of tackling climate change
Manchester, 21 - 22 January 2009
Over the last year councils have demonstrated their commitment to tackling climate change by adopting targets under the new performance framework. Councils really are in the eye of the storm: as they’ve stepped up to adopt climate change targets, the economic climate has altered. How does this build our case for taking action? How do we strengthen our resolve and continue to lead others?
This Local Government Association and Energy Saving Trust conference will focus on the opportunities and challenges in reducing emissions and planning to adapt. Councils are uniquely placed to deliver change but cannot do it alone, so the conference will also look at mobilising communities and businesses to take action. Our conference programme includes interactive debates as well as practical workshops to equip you with ideas, tools and contacts to help councils achieve their local area agreements and show their partners understand how they can help too.
