Peripheral Vision: Reimagining Regional Policy for a Greener Union

Organised by Britain's Leading Edge and the Environment and Sustainability Institute.

The ESI is proud to be co-organising a conference with Britain’s Leading Edge (BLE, coordinated by Cornwall Council) to explore new models of regional development and devolution that can build on the riches of natural capital found in the geographical periphery.


Event details

Chaired by Jonathan Werran from Localis, Stuart Dawley and Gail Mulvey will be talking about regional development for the periphery, Ian Bateman and Jennifer Geroni will outline the concept of natural capital and how it can be used to reframe the potential for regional development, Arianna Giovannini and Mark Sandford will consider the link to the ongoing debate about devolution, and Jessie Hamshar and Jason Torrance will apply the conference themes to developments in local government and policy/ practice.

Objectives:
This event seeks to look beyond already established models of regional development, reimagining new spatially balanced policy solutions where the periphery is concerned.

This will be streamed LIVE to the ESI Facebook page:
