The Environmental Network for Pembrokeshire (TENP) is a grouping of member organisations from the voluntary sector with the aim of participating in and contributing to the formulation and implementation of policy impacting on the environment by engaging with the statutory and business sectors on behalf of its members.

We aim to make Pembrokeshire a leading example of a sustainably managed county and for this purpose TENP adopts the UK Sustainable Development Commission definition and guidelines:

“Sustainable Development provides a framework for redefining progress and redirecting our economies to enable all people to meet their basic needs and improve their quality of life while ensuring that the natural systems, resources and diversity upon which we depend are maintained and enhanced for our benefit and that of future generations”.

The next few decades of the 21st Century will be critical for all societies as we seek to meet the challenges of climate change, and insufficient resources to meet the growing demand for goods, services and energy.

The developed nations will have to reconsider their current priorities and lifestyles and learn to respond and adapt, both nationally and locally, to dramatically changing circumstances.

In this context it is timely that The Environmental Network for Pembrokeshire (TENP), a collaboration of voluntary sector organisations, has been established and I support its aim of promoting and advocating the development of Pembrokeshire as a Sustainable County using the 5 principles adopted by the UK Sustainable Development Commission.

I wish TENP every success in the future and encourage all voluntary sector environmental groups in the County to join the network and actively support its activities.
