In 2011 the Government and its major environmental agencies embarked upon a major change to the way it wanted to see delivery of the Water framework Directive. In particular it is looking to deliver plans and measures at a local level with the active engagement of a wide range of stakeholders and communities. The aim of this conference is to share the learning emerging from the early stages of this process, consider the major objectives of the WFD programme in 2012, in particular how plans will link together, and then a range of issues that will help inform the roll out of the approach from 2013 and beyond, including funding, information provision and integration. Presentations are available online.

Organized by Transport Division of the UNECE, this is part of a wider UN initiative to develop a uniform methodology for calculating transport CO2 emissions. It looks specifically how this model might be used to meet UN Requirements and national commitments to reduce CO2 under the UNFCCC requirements. The main objective of the project is to enhance international cooperation and planning towards sustainable transport policies through the development and use of a standard monitoring and assessment tool for CO2 emissions in inland transport (passenger and freight road and rail transport only) including a transport policy converter.
