| Description: |
A comprehensive text that addresses the environmental issues, with solutions and examples of best practice that allow venues, event agencies, contractors and suppliers to move forward with confidence, and so maintain a vibrant and lucrative sector. |
| Synopsis: |
The UK event industry alone brings in approximately GBP30 billion to the UK GDP and with that supports over half million full and part time jobs. With this steady incremental growth over a number of years, external issues have begun to shape and define the sector. With this change comes financial implication and organisational resistance, therefore it is vital to demystify the issue of sustainable events and allow organisations and attendees to engage, without feeling hindered by consumer pressure, European regulations and directives as well as specific industry environmental standards that have been introduced over the past 6 years. Sustainable Solutions for the Event Management Sector is a comprehensive text book that addresses the environmental issues, with solutions and examples of best practice that allow venues, event agencies, contractors and suppliers to move forward with confidence, and so maintain a vibrant and lucrative sector. Sustainable Solutions for the Event Management Sector presents a constructive discussion and unravels the complexity of the climate change agenda, via analysis of international case studies such as London 21012 Olympics, V Festival, Glastonbury amongst others, to create a set of actions and a clear toolkit for the for the sector to implement. It discusses the following and much more:* Typologies of events and the environmental impacts of each;* Climate change - its impact on the events sector and its position from a global, European, national and local perspective;* Planning and managing sustainable events, introducing the various sustainable standards and how to deal with waste management, the Clean air agenda, energy efficiency amongst others;* How to initiate change: capturing the competitive advantage and winning new contracts with the green credentials. * Links between sustainable and healthy campaigns and events such as the London 2012 Olympic Games. Written in a user friendly style, each chapter will have at least one event case study to explain and place the issues or issues in context. A must have text for all undergraduate and postgraduate students of event management and professionals looking to understand this vital area of the industry. |
