IEMA Webinar:
Air Quality Management in Scotland

The webinar will introduce the progress in developing Low

Emission Zone (LEZ) legislation in Scotland via the Transport
(Scotland) Bill. The Scottish Government has committed to
introducing four LEZs in Scotland’s four largest cities by 2020.
This is our chance to engage with the Transport Scotland lead
official on the LEZ policy and help shape the ongoing
development of the Regulations and Guidance.

Communicating Climate Change

• How can we communicate climate change more

effectively to encourage everyone to take action?

• Join a panel of climate change communication

experts and professionals across disciplines to
explore this and what is and isn't working around
this topic.

• This is a great opportunity for a range of

professions to share knowledge and ideas and to
understand research, methods and practice to
effectively communicate climate change.
