2009 - a historic turning point?
Sara Parkin, December 23rd, Forum Blog.
The enemy of conventional wisdom (uncritical acceptance of the status quo), says John Kenneth Gabraith, is not ideas but the march of events. And boy, have events have been marching to a quickening rhythm in 2008. Perhaps the most important amongst the debt-fuelled dramas of the financial sector and grim environmental news ...
Leading the building of sustainable schools
Jane Wilkinson, December 23rd, Forum Blog.
The biggest school building programme in a generation presents a unique opportunity to incorporate sustainability into the very DNA of our schools.

In the last year, we’ve ...

Patti Whaley, December 17th, Forum Blog.
The Forum likes to think of itself as "a critical friend" to our partners; now we'd like to recruit one for ourselves. We're looking for an independent member to sit on our Audit and Assurance Committee. The Committee meets four times a year to review financial statements, assess risk, analyse forecasts ...
Nice but nasty: ‘sustainability’ in 2018?
Joy Green, December 5th, Forum Blog.
The NICE years seemed good while they lasted, but as we wake up with a hangover to the nasty bill for our long years of growth, it's pretty clear to everyone that business as usual is not an answer and it's time to prepare for radical change.
As banks and high street ...
