A one-day conference and exhibition, held on 15 January 2008, was designed to showcase the research being undertaken at the Oxford Institute for Sustainable Development and School of the Built Environment in Oxford Brookes University relating to corporate social responsibility, sustainability and climate change adaptation and mitigation. Drawing on the experience of keynote speakers from the private and public sectors and expert academics in their field, the conference helped to debate, develop and review integrated approaches to business development by responding to these challenges imaginatively and constructively. Final copies of the presentations are available online. These include presentations from the following workshops: Sustainable technology; Counting and reducing carbon emissions; Wellbeing in sustainable environments; Planning, urban design and environmental assessment; Sustainable real estate and construction; and Sustainable urban form and competitive cities.
