Carbon Conversations event 20 March: Place-shaping In A Low Carbon Future
Do you have responsibilities for place-shaping or environmental services within a local authority, or work in partnership with those who do? Are you a member of a local strategic partnership or a representative from: local, regional and central government, a private or non-governmental organisation, or a national body?
You are invited by The Environment Council and the Office for Public Management (OPM) to attend a free and open half-day event on 20 March 2008 at St. Alban’s Conference Centre, Holborn, London
The half day event will run as follows:
9.30am – Registration and coffee
10am–1pm – ‘Carbon Conversation’
1–1.30pm – Lunch (included)
The Environment Council and the Office for Public Management (OPM) are co-hosting this free ‘conversation’ to explore the future of local authorities’ place-shaping role in the context of significant carbon constraints. Drivers for local authorities to create low carbon places are varied and forceful. A ‘Carbon Conversation’ allows rounds of dialogue to evolve within a single, larger connected discussion. The aim of the day is to help you to identify barriers to carbon reduction for your locality and consider how these might be overcome, using existing place-shaping tools, to create thriving low-carbon places. Following the event, The Environment Council and OPM will be working with partners on a range of wider tools and processes to help local public agencies and their communities find common and sustainable solutions to tackling high emissions.
