Environment Ireland 2012

Environment Ireland®, now in its eighth year, is Ireland’s major annual conference on environmental policy and management. The conference is organised in association with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Environment, Community and Local Government. The conference is attended each year by delegates representing all the main sectors with an interest in Ireland’s environment, including many from Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The theme of this year's conference is 'The environment and the economy' and speakers will examine the contribution the environment sector can make to economic recovery, and the importance of Ireland's clean, green, environment in a number of growth industries including tourism and agriculture. Other key issues addressed in the programme will include waste management, planning, environmental regulation, water reform, transport and climate change. These issues will be explored through an expert panel of local and visiting speakers. To view the full conference programme and details of registration - Click Here
