The Environment Strategy for East Sussex supports our commitment over the next 15 years to protecting the environment, reducing carbon emissions and adapting to climate change.
Developed in partnership with a wide range of individuals and organisations, it identifies what is important about the environment and what we all need to do to look after it, while recognising the fact we are in difficult financial times.
Key aims of the strategy include:
- minimising the amount of waste created and getting more waste re-used and recycled
- reducing carbon emissions and the use of fossil fuels
- improving habitats to reverse and prevent the loss of plant and animal species
- creating healthy seas and sustainable fisheries
- promoting the use of open and green spaces for healthy and active lifestyles
- promoting the economic value of the environment and its opportunities for growth in jobs and prosperity.
A progress report on how we are putting the strategy in place will be published in 2012.
