ODPM Sustainable Development Minister Baroness Andrews said: “Our aim is to create sustainable and inclusive communities for the 21st century, places where people want to live, that promote opportunity and sustain a better quality of life for all. Creating sustainable communities therefore means putting principles of sustainable development into practice.
“The ODPM acknowledges the long-term nature of the challenge, particularly in regard to climate change, and the need to make serious changes in policy and behaviour now across the economy and society. This Action Plan sets out our commitment and contribution to the UK Sustainable Development Strategy over the next 12 months.”
The Action Plan shows how the work of the ODPM in creating sustainable communities embodies the principles of sustainable development through a range of milestones.
