FOREWORD

I wish to congratulate TENP on the production of this Directory which I believe will help to both inform and stimulate discussion on the nature of and approaches to achieving a sustainable society.

 

Sustainable Development attracts a great deal of rhetoric and is a term that is easily ‘hi-jacked’. This Directory presents the 5 Principles of Sustainable Development all of which need to be expressed in policy and practice if we are to achieve a sustainable and flourishing future.

 

We can be proud of our commitment to sustainable development in Wales, but turning that commitment into reality is a challenge which is well documented throughout this directory. The directory provides a useful information source on current policy and programmes, examples of practice and some pithy observations, which will help to focus minds on delivery. It is a great example of the importance of a strong civil society organisation concerned about the long term future of their county .

 

 

 

 

Peter Davies

 

Sustainable Development Commissioner for Wales and Chair of the Climate Change Commission for Wales.

 

N.B.The views expressed in the observations are not necessarily ones Peter Davies would agree with, but he believes, they provide an important contribution to a transparent debate on the ways in which we need to ensure sustainable development is embedded within all levels of Government.
