Valuing our life support systems Savoy Place,
London
29 April - 1 May 2009
The link between the health of our environment and the health of our economy is becoming clearer.

There is no doubt that a sustainable approach to development needs to be adopted, but gaps in research, policy and its implementation need to be filled.

This three-day symposium for representatives from government departments and agencies, parliament, academia and research, businesses and NGOs aimed to identify these gaps and recommend solutions.


Presentations from many of the speakers are available on this website, via the daily programmes for the event - click on the images below to reach these programmes.
