  • < Places, projects & networks, < Projects by location: England Westden (formerly West Devon Environmental Network) was launched in 1994 with a focus on traditional ‘green’ issues. However it soon became obvious that the outcomes of the 1992 UN Earth Summit could not be ignored. Environmental issues could not be tackled in isolation from social and economic factors and, if anything was to be done about global problems such as climate change and poverty, the place to start was at a local level.
