This is the first book to provide a through exploration of the multi-dimensional relationships between events and the environment. It achieves this by reviewing how the events industry uses the environment as a resource, critically evaluating the positive and negative impacts of events on the environment from a variety of scales, whilst considering the role of environmental legislation. To encourage reflection on the main themes addressed, critical thinking discussion questions and links to further reading are included in each chapter. This book is essential reading for students of Events Management.
