Society for the Environment

This is an umbrella organisation that holds the license for three professional registrations: Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv), Registered Environmental Practitioner (REnvP) and Registered Environmental Technician (REnvTech), awarded by a range of professional bodies to their members worldwide. A list of the professional bodies that offer these registrations (known as ‘Licensed Members’) can be found here. The resources SocEnv offer are substantial and can be found on the site in various locations (webinars, podcasts) but educational materials can also be located within the sites of the 24 Licensed Members.

Green City Briefings

AIPH, in collaboration with the Worshipful Company of Gardeners, is delighted to announce the City of London Green City Briefings. The City of London Green City Briefings is a series of 8 one-hour webinars that present compelling evidence and examples of the power of ‘living green’ in delivering multiple solutions to city challenges.

Climate change is at the core of ‘Build Back Better’ conversations, and the City of London is committed to making London a greener city while addressing climate change and economic stability. Adaptation to climate change has nature at its core, and the evidence of plants – the ‘living green’ – in creating and accelerating the change that is needed for vibrant city life is compelling.

These briefings aim to provide the latest evidence for the benefits of plants in creating liveable, resilient cities and present practical examples of how these benefits are realised. The focus of this series is on adapting to climate change.
