At this year’s RLAS symposium in Edinburgh, we ran an interactive session to get people thinking about language, communication and contexts. What works? What doesn’t? What opens up conversation and what can close it down?

Almost 150 delegates representing 81 different organisations in the environmental sector gathered in Edinburgh on 10-11 February 2026 for the inaugural symposium of the newly-formed Resilient Landscapes and Seas (RLAS) partnership.
