Letter to the Chairman of the Committee
from Jonathon Porritt, Chairman, Sustainable Development Commission
THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY: ILLUSION
OR REALITY?
I understand that the Committee is currently
engaged in an inquiry into the UK Sustainable Development Strategy.
This is a subject of central importance to the
Commission. As you may know, we recently completed our own review
of progress made since publication of the Strategy, entitled Shows
Promise. But Must Try Harder[7]
And we are helping the Government, in a variety of ways, to develop
a new Strategy.
I hope you will forgive us if we do not submit
fresh written evidence to the Committee for its inquiry. Instead,
I enclose a copy of our report, together with the report we commissioned
from consultants assessing progress against the Government's Headline
Indicators[8]
