SocEnv @ Sustainability Live 2010

 

Last year, SocEnv’s CEO John Carstensen was a key speaker in the opening seminar ‘A Low Carbon Transition’ at Sustainability Live.

 
Having represented SocEnv in Copenhagen at the Climate Summit last December, John spoke about attitudes to climate science and the global commitment to moving to low carbon economies.  “‘Climategate’ had little attention in Copenhagen, where virtually everybody acknowledged that the climate science is global, not only UEA, and scientists from all over the world came to similar conclusions,” he said. “In my view the science is solid! I have seen nothing that distracts from the heart of the IPCC conclusions, only re-affirmations that as a society we need to react fast.

What I was waiting for in Copenhagen was not a legal agreement, but a clear political signal that the global leaders had knowingly and unequivocally committed themselves to the low-carbon journey that the EU and the UK have committed themselves to in response to the science. It failed to materialise.” 


Over the three days, SustainabilityLive attracted a record attendance of 8,904, with around 240 speakers and over 400 exhibiting organisations.   SocEnv will be exhibiting again at the 2011 Sustainability Live Show at the NEC 24th - 26th May - come and visit us.
