Sustainable Development is widely accepted as “ 'development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” . There are three main areas of sustainable development and they are:
This activity focuses in on how ‘green’ an organisation is. How effectively we minimise & manage waste, careful use of natural resources & consider how to offset our carbon footprint.
Key themes of sustainable economic development include building business competitiveness; attracting & retaining inward investment; maintaining / enhancing environmental quality; creating 21st Century Skills; economic inclusion & social infrastructure
The last area to be incorporated within the sustainable development agenda; this is a key consideration for urban regeneration. Development that is socially sustainable ensures that major regeneration projects do not simply ‘gentrify’ inner city areas such as Camden but offer up a mixed tenure of projects that are inclusive and meet the needs of the whole community.
CTN has benefited from initial environmental training as part of its involvement with the Pan-London 2 ESF programme managed by Ecotec on behalf of the London Learning & Skills Council.
We are now underway on our journey to make CTN a sustainable organisation.
One of the milestones for this project is the production of a sustainable development action plan so it has allowed us the opportunity to turn our attention to this area and support the creation of a plan that allows CTN to truly consider how it becomes sustainable in all its activities.
We have drafted our Sustainable Development Action Plan and a copy of our plan can be found here.
