General history of the work of the RSA on the environment. 'The RSA and the Environment', produced in 1993, commemorated the keen interest that HRH The Duke of Edinburgh has taken in environmental issues during his time as President. His many achievements included initiating a new collaborative approach to the 'Countryside in 1970' conferences, which took place in the 1960s. He also served as President of its Committee for the Environment, established in 1971
Working party set up jointly by the RSA, Committee for Environmental Conservation and Institute of Fuel to form a multi-disciplinary group to tackle issues about energy questions in an environmental context.\nThe aim of the report of the conference is to examine and report on the environmental implications of the development and use of the energy resources available to Britain.
The purpose of this seminar was to discuss the benefits of funding environmental interests and the important contribution that grant-making trusts can make in supporting research and development in environmental protection technologies, and in the increasing public awareness and understanding of this very important subject.
