Sustainable Development Strategy - Public Consultation

On 22 October 2009, the Executive approved the opening of the public consultation phase of its draft Sustainable Development Strategy.  The Executive wants to hear your views on this document.  At the end of this page you can find out how to let us know what you think.  The Strategy sets out the Executive’s vision for a peaceful, fair, prosperous and sustainable society and aims to identify and develop actions that will improve the quality of life for ourselves and future generations.  

To ensure that Government is clearly focused on achieving this vision, the Executive has set out a number of Guiding Principles that express the ambitions of the Strategy.  Two of these Principles cover the overarching ambitions of the Strategy

There are four further Principles that describe the necessary conditions for the achievement of sustainable development.

The Executive wants to hear your views on this document.  At the end of the Strategy document you will find a series of questions.  Your answers to these questions will assist the Executive in to the best way in which the Priorities can be taken forward.  This will help to develop plans to improve the quality of life for ourselves, and for future generations.
