Adapting to Change through 'Localism' Held at the Russell Hotel, Russell Square, London WC1

Twitter: #environment11 Environment 2011 heard government, local government and businesses speak of their strategies to tackle, on a local level, the key climate change and environmental challenges. The 2011 annual conference provided the skills to devise and enact strategies to protect and create healthy local environments, improve energy efficiency and meet climate change challenges. It gave regulators; business; government agencies; local government and campaign groups a chance to set out their view of the way ahead over the next four years, and discuss the dilemmas confronting business leaders, policy‐makers and strategic planners. This unique event mapped the future for decision‐takers wrestling with the pace of change, investment decisions, and the huge behavioural and economic changes necessary to reduce our carbon output; protect and create healthy local environments; reduce and manage waste and move towards alternative, cleaner energy and transport.
