Local Agenda 21 Conclusions & Future Action

This document marks only a stage in the process of promoting sustainable development. There is much work required of the Council, its partners and the organisations who operate in North Lanarkshire to build the sustainable community described earlier.

One of the keys to achieving the sustainable community is increased integration of services and a priority for future work will be creating the processes and environment where identifying sustainability issues and addressing them becomes part of the everyday planning and delivery of services.

Within this context and in response to the delivery of more sustainable services the priorities for future action will be:-

  • Developing a coordinated Programme of Action on Climate Change
  • Developing a Sustainability Reporting Process for the North Lanarkshire Partnership
  • Embedding Sustainability principles in Purchasing Policies and Programmes of the Council and it's Partners
  • Exploring news ways of Service Delivery which better Integrates Services to those who live and work in North Lanarkshire

Developing sustainable projects and policies is a dynamic process in which there is continued change and progress. The Council's Web Site provides up-to-date information on current activity and also provides links to a variety of other web sites which contain information on sustainable development.
