[CPPS] How Do We Prevent The Likelihood Of Future Flooding?
How best do we obviate the potential threats of future flooding? Who should be responsible for doing what? How do we allow for climate change? What will it cost? Who should pay? Marking publication of the Pitt and Select Committee reports, this CPPS seminar brings together key figures from across sectors in the important debate on how best to tackle the threats of future flooding. The day encourages brief, focussed presentations followed by engaged discussion by all attending in a relaxed setting. It is hoped that it will make a valuable contribution to taking forward the issues.
