Event Description

Professor Tim O’Riordan will give us his thoughts on the fusion of Sustainability within Regeneration. He has given some consideration as to how we can develop a vision and action plan for the Regeneration of Derry~Londonderry where Sustainability is the propulsive bloodstream.

SWG members are encouraged to come along and participate in this event so that we can all understand the opportunities provided to us by embedding the Sustainability agenda into our process.

The session is scheduled to take place from 9.30 – 12.00 on 11th December at The Everglades Hotel.

Professor Tim O’Riordan

Before retiring in July 2005 Tim was Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia. He has edited a number of books on the institutional aspects of global environmental change policy and practice, and led two international research projects on the transition to sustainability in the European Union (1995-1999). His current research interests are focused on global-local relations and their implications for the transition to sustainability in Europe. He is also involved with user groups, in the practical application of deliberative and inclusionary processes for the reallocation of scarce water resources in Broadland, and in the management of the public private partnership for flood alleviation again in the Broads.

He has served as Chairman of the Environment Committee for the Broads Authority, was a member of Norfolk and Suffolk Local Flood Defence Committee, of advisory panels to Dow Chemical and Eastern Group PLC. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Academy in 1999 and continues to be an active member of the Sustainable Development Commission.
