Purpose of the report
This report monitors West Midlands’ progress against the targets laid out in our 2030 Sustainability Roadmap. The progress is presented graphically to display the trends from the year 2010 and projections for 2030 predict the likely path for each roadmap metric. SWM’s role is to ensure that we are on track to meet the various targets and to ensure that we work with our members, networks and stakeholders to help build on best practice and provide solutions to challenges where progress is slow.
This year’s report shows that progress is being made, with 12 of the 13 datasets trending in the right direction. However, currently only two are projected to meet the 2030 targets. The latest findings and data for all our roadmap themes can be found in the full report, or alternatively you can visit the specific pages for each of our sustainability themes on the roadmap homepage.
