Roadmap to 2030 – Monitoring Report 2025

Date of the report

September 2025

Author of the report

Sustainability West Midlands

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 marks the halfway point of our Roadmap, and as such SWM have undertaken a full review of the latest literature and policy to ensure the targets set remain based on the most up to date picture. This included setting new targets for roadmap themes that we were currently unable to monitor, including Natural Environment, Clean Water and Sustainable Energy Use. Details on these new targets, as well as the latest data for all of our roadmap themes can be found in the full report.
