The LEDS Global Partnership (LEDS GP) Annual Event 2015 on Implementing LEDS: Innovation and Good Practices, LEDS GP's fourth annual global workshop, will be held on October 14-16, 2015 at the Melia Caribe Tropical Hotel in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Climate information was once the domain of modellers and scientists. Nowadays, as the world wakes up to the extent to which our lives, jobs and environment will be affected by climate change, everyone is becoming a climate decision-maker in one way or another.  From government policy-makers and industry chiefs to everyday consumers and voters, information is going to be needed to make the right decisions on how to address climate change. Where will it come from and how will people make sense of the growing ocean of climate information being produced every year?

This year’s International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD) will focus on the theme of Implementing the SDGs: Getting Started. The aim of the conference is to identify and share practical, evidence-based solutions that can support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will be agreed upon at the United Nations immediately following the conference.

Green Budget Europe (GBE) is a European expert platform on environmental taxation and green fiscal reform. GBE advocates for more tax on pollution accompanied by reduced labour taxes. They believe this reform process – frequently referred to as a Green Tax Shift – should be done in socially equitable way.

Behind GBE's work is the realisation that properly pricing pollution is vital to society’s long term economic interests.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT WAS FIRST SCHEDULED ON 29 JUNE AND POSTPONED TO 21 JULY 2015.

The Global Cleantech Summit 2015 to be organized in Helsinki, Finland between 8-10 September, provides an international discussion and innovation forum for the global challenges of today: How to mitigate the impacts of climate change and the other pressing environmental concerns? How to succeed and take effective steps towards a better future with clean technologies?

The World Environment Day theme for 2015 is "Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care." The well-being of humanity, the environment, and the functioning of the economy, ultimately depend upon the responsible management of the planet’s natural resources. Evidence is building that people are consuming far more natural resources than what the planet can sustainably provide.
