Sustainability in a nutshell
- Sustainable Development is about ensuring a better quality of life for everyone, now and for future generations to come without compromising the environment. It aims to combine environmental protection, social equity and economic goals into all decision making. - Action 21
- Sustainable Development has been given major international impetus through Local Agenda 21 which recognises that many adverse environmental effects in are the result of everyday actions - at work, at home and when we're out and about. - Action 21
- To tackle such environmental problems, we need to find ways to encourage everyone to think about the small everyday decisions which added together make a difference. In essence ‘acting locally to impact globally’. - Action 21
- Within Warwick District we recognise, that such complex and far reaching issues cannot be tackled by any single organisation and that it is therefore essential that people and organisations come together and work together to pool knowledge, skills, resources, and ideas. - Action 21
- In this way it is possible to make a real difference - to make people's lives better through a strong economy and social progress at the same time as protecting the environment and making prudent use of natural resources. The role of Action 21 - providing an umbrella and an impetus for individuals and organisation to get involved and to work together. - Action 21
- 'Sustainable development is a dynamic process which enables all people to realise their potential and improve their quality of life in ways which simultaneously protect and enhance the Earth's life support systems' - Forum for the Future
