ENVEC 2009 will be the South West's main climate change conference in 2009. Admittance (free) is by pre-registration only; ENVEC will be open for delegate registration on 8th September 2009 from this web page when the conference programme will also be made available.
This year's conference and expert briefing sessions will cover (provisional):-
How can the economic recovery be green?
Keeping the lights on for business

the UK’s CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050

During the conference break periods, the ENVEC 2009 Drop-in Centre will allow delegates to network with other SW business and public sector professionals and gain expert advice on key issues connected to reducing their own organisation’s carbon footprint, improving its response to climate change impacts and learn how to access the new UK Climate Projections (UKCP09) for their organisation’s locality.
Further details will be posted here as plans are developed.

ENVEC 2008
Thursday 2nd October 2008
Winter Gardens Pavilion, Weston-super-Mare
From ENVEC 2001, ENVEC has been run as a climate neutral event - for ENVEC 2001 - 2005 the organisers
have invested (via www.climatecare.org) in projects that reduce carbon dioxide emissions to offset the emissions arising from energy used at the event itself and by delegates travelling to and from the venue. In 2005 ENVEC made a financial contribution towards the installation of solar PV panels on the
roof of the Winter Gardens Pavilion in Weston-super-Mare as part of ENVEC's environmental legacy for the venue. See also "ENVEC wood" below concerning carbon offsets from 2006.
Since ENVEC 2005, ENVEC has been organised in accordance with the principles of the nationally
recognised "Greener Events" guide for reducing the environmental impacts of conferences and seminars.
The organisers recognise that the way people obtain and share important information has changed greatly with the advent and increased use of the internet. For this reason the format of ENVEC is kept under continuous review so that this event can evolve to meet the needs of delegates.
