The Health in Your Environment (HIYE) voluntary sector forum brings together groups involved in health, social and economic regeneration and environmental issues in south Nottinghamshire, UK.

It has a particular focus on the connections between health and the environment, where health is defined in terms of well-being and quality of life, not just illness.

 

'Beyond the Basics' climate lectures

HIYE has coordinated a series of events looking in detail at various aspects of climate change and some of the measures suggested to address it. BTB has its own website at www.hiye.org.uk/climatechange, where you'll find a record of the lectures, including speakers' presentation materials and audio clips of the full programme.
