Taking It On: Developing UK Sustainable Development Strategy Together

Response to the DEFRA consultation; Taking it on.

LINK believes that the UK and Scottish sustainable development strategies are central to preserving and enhancing our environment – and the biodiversity, countryside and cultural heritage that it sustains – and to reduce the adverse impact of UK consumption on other environments and societies around the globe. We therefore welcome the government’s plan to put in place a new UK strategic framework for sustainable development through to 2020, to provide both a consistent approach and focus across the UK and renewed action to deliver sustainable development goals. We particularly welcome the commitment to produce, in due course, a Sustainable Development Strategy for Scotland.
