Get Sust! Issue 27

 

Sustainability in Practice conference – and call for papers

Many people see climate change as the key motivator for sustainable development, energy-efficient buildings, carbon neutral lifestyles and so on, but what of equality, social justice and ethics? And do we need Sustainable Development irrespective of the climate change agenda?

Taking the theme ‘From local to global: making a difference’ this conference at  Kingston University, Surrey, on September 6-7 2007 aims to find out.

This event will include a mix of invited key-note speakers, delegate papers and posters, workshops, case studies, demonstrations and plenaries and networking opportunities. Contributions are welcome on all subjects from corporate strategy to cutting edge science and technology. So if you have something to say, contact the conference organisers.
