7th February 2012, 6.30-8pm, Conference Centre, British Library, London.

Pressure on the world’s resources means people are increasingly encouraged to consume less power, water, even food. But few people make more than minimal efforts to change their behaviour. What do we expect from government? This event will explore how evidence can help the development of policies to help us move towards more sustainable lifestyles. Speakers are Professor Dale Southerton, Director, Sustainable Practices Research Group, University of Manchester and Ian Christie, Centre for Environmental Strategy, University of Surrey. The event will be chaired by Dr Astrid Wissenburg, Director of Partnerships and Communications, ESRC. For more information see here.
