Dear list member,
Announcing a forthcoming conference:
Economic and Social Research Council sponsored seminar series :-
DELIBERATIVE & INCLUSIONARY PROCESSES IN ENVIRONMENTAL DECISION-MAKING
WHAT IS THE SEMINAR SERIES ABOUT?
The seminar series is a unique collaboration between academic researchers
at University College London, Lancaster University and the University of
East Anglia; and public, voluntary and private sector partners. The series
of five seminars will help define the importance of deliberative and
inclusionary processes for environmental policy, especially in meeting the
challenges of the sustainability agenda.
WHAT WILL THE FIRST SEMINAR ADDRESS?
SEMINAR 1 - Environmental Governance - Responding to the Challenge of
Deliberative Democracy.
The first seminar will examine the practical policy issues that arise from
the demand for more deliberative and inclusionary processes (DIPs) in
environmental decision making, and more theoretical issues and concerns
raised by DIPs. What are the challenges currently facing environmental
decision-makers? How are decisions taken now, and how should they/could
they be taken in the future? What is meant by environmental governance?
What changes, if any, should public, private and voluntary institutions put
in place to address the environmental, economic, social and political
dimensions of sustainability?
