SDUK09 Delegate Testimonials
Unlike many other conferences, at SDUK you get the speakers advertised, no last minute letdowns and the speakers are always worth hearing. If you only pay for one event per year make it this one.
Environmental Specialist, Audit Commission
Excellent forum for improving professional development on sustainable development and providing networking opportunities.
Procurement Manager, DWP
Once again SDUK provided a useful insight into what the 'movers & shakers' are thinking when it comes to sustainability.
Growth Manager, Environment Agency
This was a very useful day which provides everyone with the opportunity to update themselves on current sustainability issues in the UK and also provides a valuable opportunity to network with representatives from like-minded organisations.
EMS Administrator, Sustainable Operations, FCO Services
For me, John Beddingford's stark prediction of a 50% increase in global demand for food, energy and water by 2030 was the defining moment of the conference.
Climate Change Project Officer, Kent County Council
The conference was well organised and very informative. It provides a good overview of Sustainable Development from a number of viewpoints, including scientific and political. The conference assists delegates in understanding the wider issues surrounding sustainable development and is a worthwhile event for anyone involved in formulating sustainable development policy.
Property Advisor, Learning and Skills Council
The conference is an excellent barometer for keeping up to date on sustainability and climate change.
Sustainable Development Advisor, North Tyneside Council
Thought provoking and stimulating conference, provides renewed impetus to strive to meet the challenge to slow down and limit the impact of climate change in order to preserve our world for the future generations.
Security & Environment Manager, ONS
SDUK Conferences provide a timely insight into how well we are getting on saving the planet. Not surprisingly, talks can be uncomfortable to listen to, but when done well can energise those to work harder and smarter to tackle the greatest challenge we face.
Head of Sustainable Development, RSPB
An excellent conference, I have learnt a lot from it, and am already looking forward to the next one.
County Councillor, Surrey County Council
A balanced and thought provoking conference that can't help but make you take climate change and sustainability seriously.

SDUK09 Press
At SDUK09 last year, Professor John Beddington’s speech attracted global press coverage following his warning that the world faces a “perfect storm” of food shortages, scarce water and insufficient energy resources which threaten to unleash public unrest, cross-order conflicts and mass migration as people flee from the worst affected regions.
