Sustainability West Midlands
Sustainability West Midlands is the independent champion of
sustainable development in the West Midlands.
Its
membership is drawn from a variety of organisations and
businesses across the region. All members give their time
voluntarily and they are funded through contributions from
regional partners. Sustainable development means creating a
better quality of life for all, now and in the future, by
tackling environmental, economic and social issues in an
integrated way and finding co-ordinated solutions.
The UK
government and national organisations are working together
with other international governments in tackling these
issues on a world-wide basis. SWM will represent this work
in the West Midlands. It also forges links and partnerships
between the local and global in order to support moves
towards a more sustainable West Midlands in the 21st
Century.
SWM will:
-
Review
the sustainability of the region at present and identify
processes and policies which are currently undermining
this.
-
Identify important unsustainable trends and recommend
action to reverse them.
-
Deepen
understanding about sustainable development, increase
awareness of the issues raised, and build agreement.
-
Encourage and stimulate good practice.
