EDAS Conference – Planet | People | Place – Session 3: Place
June 9, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
The third session in our climate series, focuses on ‘Place’; where local aspirations align with global responsibility. Our places need to thrive for our communities to thrive, all whilst respecting the planet.
The blueing and greening of infrastructure that underpins development and regeneration in place is the key to unlocking economic, social and environmental impact. In our June session we hear from around Scotland and beyond.
The EDAS Climate Conference Series will hear from insightful speakers and facilitate action focused discussion that includes tangible examples. The series aims to positively steer the direction of travel towards unlocking Scotland’s economic, social and environmental potential.
