This blog was created as part of the original Valuing Nature Network (2011-2014)

Last week I had a great trip to Bangor in North Wales for the Network of European Environment and Sustainable Development Advisory Councils (EEAC) Conference. I was there to talk about the Valuing Nature Network and you can see me talking here.

But while I was there, I thought I would listen the talks on the National Ecosystem Assessment. Roy Haines-Young is obviously a Dr Who fan.....apparently the 'scenarios' from the National Ecosystem Assessment are also time machines, just like the tardis, which can take you to some suprising places.To find out what these scenarios are about, you can watch Roy's talk here.
