Conference to focus on the environment

MORE than 150 delegates are set to attend an environment conference tomorrow in the Stormont Hotel, Belfast.

The inaugural Northern Ireland Environment Forum has been organised with the support of Environment and Heritage Service and the Department of the Environment, and will bring together all the players from Northern Ireland with an interest in environmental policy and management.

A key area which will come under discussion at the conference is that of environmental justice, an issue of significant interest in the Northern Ireland context.

The conference also addresses the major environmental issues of climate change and sustainability.
