Historic Environment and Climate Change Workshop
4th December 2009
Over 70 stakeholders came together on 10 July 2009 at Nottingham’s Ice Centre to consider the effects of climate change on the region’s historic buildings, landscapes, parks, gardens and other treasures (Lincolnshire alone has 33,000 historic assets). This Defra funded project was a joint enterprise between the Regional Heritage Forum and °Climate East Midlands. Several participants complained about the heat in the room, but all that sweat generated a great deal of rich material thanks to expert facilitation and was carefully captured by organisers, the Council for British Archaeology. The outputs from the event are being used to inform other regions, English Heritage, Defra, national guidance to local authorities and an ongoing dialogue in the East Midlands.

Expo 2009 - Greening the Economy
1st December 2009
EXPO in the East Midlands is the region’s largest annual sustainable development event. This year it took place at the Walkers’ Stadium in Leicester on 8th October and the official celebration was led by the Lord Mayor of Leicester. It provided an opportunity to see how we can achieve our vision of a vibrant economy that values all our people and protects and enhances our environment locally and globally. The place was humming with activity from exhibitors and workshops and was well covered in the local press and regional TV.
This year EXPO featured the official launch of egocabs, the new ultra-modern style rickshaws now in Leicester.
