The Language of Sustainability

This one day conference run by the IES, PP4SD and PARN, held on 27th April, focused on the Language of Sustainability and featured some of the most prominent voices in the sector.

During the morning session a panel of invited guests articulated how their profession views and conveys sustainability. The session then explored each groups’ language of sustainability and whether they were integrated and could be understood by one another. In the afternoon, delegates formed into groups to discuss the development of an ‘Esperanto of Sustainability’ which would break down the barriers between different sectors and be inspiring for all. This was a fantastic opportunity to hear some respected voices debate how we communicate about sustainability, arguably the foremost goal of society.
