'Having been to a number of climate change-related events in the last 18 months, this one will stand out in my mind as offering a genuinely inspiring vision, backed up by credible examples of action that can be taken at grassroots level.' Bristol delegate

The Landscape Institute is holding two conferences this spring on the theme of climate change. The first which took place in Bristol last month, was well received. Bookings will soon close on the conference this month in Leeds.

In addition to sessions covering the Climate Change Bill, the Landscape Institute’s Climate Change Policy (due for completion this spring) and local case studies outlining the success of landscape-scale approaches to adaptation, there will be a series of workshops for delegates to choose from that relate climate change to the four other policy themes that the Institute will be focusing on in 2008/09:

  • Housing
  • Green infrastructure
  • Community engagement
  • Healthy living in the landscape

Prices range from £25 to £225.
