The headings below link to the key regional objectives we need to focus on to achieve our vision of a sustainable West Midlands. These reflect key regional priorities around society, the environment, resources and the economy. They also support the UK priorities of sustainable consumption and production, climate change and energy, natural resource protection and environmental enhancement, and sustainable communities, as set out in Securing the Future, the UK Government’s Sustainable Development Strategy.
None of these objectives exists in a vacuum – all of them have implications for the others; and all areas of policy development and implementation can contribute to multiple objectives. For example, almost all of the objectives will play some part in reducing the region’s contribution to climate change. Sustainability West Midlands will be working with partners to identify the best arrangements for accountability and delivery of each of these objectives.
