Sustainability West Midlands
Purpose of the resource
The purpose of this report is to identify the key sustainability opportunities for the West Midlands from the 25 Year Environment Plan. This will help SWM, the West Midlands Combined Authority, Local Enterprise Partnerships and our networks of members and partners to understand where we can work together to help deliver the UK Government agenda and our own regional and local priorities.
The United Kingdom is blessed with a wonderful variety of natural landscapes and habitats and the 25 Year Environment Plan sets out comprehensive and long-term approach to protecting and enhancing them in England for the next generation. Its goals are simple: cleaner air and water; plants and animals which are thriving; and a cleaner, greener country for us all.
