Light Pollution in 2050 - The Role of Local Governments

As more and more councils upgrade lights to LEDs and purchase zero emissions electricity, the question Ironbark is being asked is, “What else is there to do for outdoor lighting?”

You might have a sustainable lighting checklist that looks like this:

> Bought 100% zero emissions electricity - DONE
> Fully installed LED lights - PARTIAL
> Install smart lighting - NEXT
> Reduce the impact of ALAN on biodiversity - NEXT

When decisions you make have a 20-year consequence the future is close, and this webinar will help you prepare. We will cover:

1. The basics of ALAN and biodiversity impacts

2. Overcoming the lighting manager’s dilemma

3. Building blocks for the future lighting system (including what is ready right now)

4. Local government case studies (of course); and last but not least

5. Sustainable lighting: The Checklist
