This February IPPR will host a major conference on responding to environmental breakdown. This will take place on Tuesday 12th February, 09.30-17.00 at Coin Street Neighbourhood Centre, 108 Stamford St, London SE1 9NH.
IPPR is undertaking a major research programme to understand the implications of environmental collapse for policy and politics and develop the narratives and policy needed to manage risk in this new era, protect societies from disruption caused by environmental breakdown, and enable future generations to flourish. This conference will explore the dimensions of a response to environmental breakdown.
