What makes good environmental reporting?

Reporting is essential in environmental science roles – but how do you know you’re doing it well? Is your reporting clear to those outside your field? In this event we’ll go back to basics, exploring the fundamentals of good reporting across the environmental sciences, leaving attendees with a clear picture of the methods used by different specialisms as well as tips and tricks from experienced professionals.

This event will begin with a round of lightning presentations, with representatives from a range of fields discussing what good reporting means in their roles. You’ll get a chance to hear directly from professionals working in water quality, environmental impact assessment, air quality, contaminated land, sustainability and emissions. 

The panellists will provide insights into their specialisms as well as reflections on interdisciplinary working and the role that good reporting plays in this. The event will be useful for those who work with stakeholders across the environmental sciences, enabling a greater understanding of how reporting works in different fields. It may also be of interest to those early in their environmental science careers, providing a foundational understanding of reporting across the sector.

Attendees will have the chance to ask questions and engage with the panellists in a dedicated question-and-answer discussion segment.
