Climate change has become the main driver for environmental protection and sustainable development. Recently a plethora of policies, legislation and regulations has been developed to limit greenhouse gas emissions from a wide range of activities. In the UK local authorities are identified as being at the forefront of action. Consequently, all aspects of local government service provision need to be reviewed to ensure that their contribution to climate change is minimised. The collection, treatment and management of waste is no exception. This event will explore the relationship between waste management and climate change and identify the potential implications for local authorities when planning, delivering and communicating about the delivery of waste and recycling services. The benefits that the waste sector can gain from associating with and responding to the climate change debate will be explored in terms of the implications for increasing member, public and financial support for sustainable waste management activities.
Lunch will be provided.
