National strategy on sustainable development
The government is committed to the principles of sustainable development and continues to work to the principles set out in the document 'Securing the Future: Delivering UK Sustainable Development Strategy' (published 2005). This document identifies five principles which, together, should deliver sustainable development:
-
living within environmental limits
-
ensuring a strong, healthy and just society
-
achieving a sustainable economy
-
promoting good governance
-
using sound science responsibly
For a policy to be sustainable it must respect all five principles. A sustainable economy, good governance and sound science will be the means by which the goals of living within environmental limits and a just society will be achieved.
