The event

Join SWM member Aston University at the book launch of ‘Searching for Resilience in Sustainable Development’. John Blewitt’s and Daniella Tibury’s new book ‘Searching for Resilience in Sustainable Development’ will form the basis of a wide range discussion on resilience: what it is, and how it can or should form part of our search for a more sustainable world. Participants will have the opportunity to look at what has, and what is being done to increase resilience. Sustainability West Midlands will be taking part, with Dr. Simon Slater chairing the panel. Other contributing organisations include: The Schumacher Institute, Library of Birmingham, E.ON, SWM member Localise West Midlands, the Royal Society of Arts, Pop Up foundation, RailTrack/Quest for Solutions, Routledge-Earthscan, RCE Severn and SWM member Aston University. Read a summary of the book, as well as endorsements from experts and opinion leaders.
