SUMMIT DINNER DRESS CODE Dress code for the evening reception and Summit dinner is smart-casual. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF REGISTRATION A confirmation of registration will be sent to all registered delegates within 5 working days of registration. JOINING INSTRUCTIONS Full joining instructions, together with travel details and location map, will be sent to all registered delegates approximately two weeks before the Summit. REDUCING THE IMPACT OF THE SUMMIT All reasonable steps are being taken to reduce the environmental impact of the event, using the Greening Events guidelines developed by ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability), of which Nottingham City Council is a member. Delegates are invited to travel by public transport where possible and to support all sustainability measures provided at the event. The greenhouse gas emissions from delegate travel and energy use at the summit venues will be offset by ICLEI on behalf of the organisers, in the interests of making this a carbon neutral event. Following the Second National Councils’ Climate Conference in Nottingham in December 2005, a low income house in Kuyasa township, Cape Town, South Africa was retrofitted with insulation, energy efficient lighting, solar water heating and shower, using offset fees from the delegates in Nottingham. Following the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development, this housing upgrade project was established as a UN approved Clean Development Mechanism project through the Kyoto Protocol. In order for us to accurately calculate the CO2 emissions for delegate travel, we ask that you indicate your departure point in the appropriate section of the registration form. For European delegates, please indicate your main mode of transport, departure airport or train station and UK arrival airport or train station. For UK delegates, please indicate your main mode of transport and the postcode of your departure point, be it work, home or an alternative location.

If you have any specific needs related, for example, to sight, hearing, mobility access or special diets, please tick the box on the registration form and the event organisers will contact you to ascertain your individual requirements.
