Written by a leader in event sustainability management, this book is a practical, step-by-step guide taking readers through the key aspects of how to identify, evaluate, and manage event sustainability issues and impacts and to use the event for good – events of any style and scale, anywhere in the world. Each year events of every shape and size are held globally: from community events, school fairs, and local business functions through to the largest festivals, music concerts, conferences, and sporting events. As well as encouraging celebration and giving voice to issues, these public parties can use up resources, send out emissions, and generate mountains of waste. But events also have the power to showcase sustainability in action, and every sustainably produced event can inspire and motivate others to action. Thoroughly updated in its fourth edition, this book reflects what event sustainability best practice looks like in this new era of the discipline: circular and net zero, reusables and renewable energy, climate conscious catering – stakeholders expect it and the solutions now exist. The new edition also features additional case studies, and an updated look at greenhouse gas emissions measurement, providing readers with practical guidance on how to manage events responsibly. This is the indispensable one-stop guide for event professionals and event management students who want to keep up with industry best practices and who need a powerful, easy-to-use collection of tools to deliver events sustainably.
