The Environment and Society Forum events bring together business, research, non-governmental and policy-making communities to discuss issues placed high on governmental agendas.

Geographers, with their knowledge of both social and environmental processes, are well placed to contribute to solutions.

Copies of presentations are published following each day-long seminar, and these are available on the left hand side menu.
