Sustainable Development Policy Directory (PDF)

This Directory means that a whole range of built environment
professionals need never be caught out by the perversities of
policy - in its formulation or on its journey into the real
life of you and me. To have in one place the means of not only
burrowing down into any one policy, but also of exploring the
interconnections is a precious resource for any professional -
'sustainability literate' or not.

Today, nobody who delivers our built environment can be
excused from taking responsibility for the future. Armed with this
Directory their contribution can only be made more
effective.

Forum for the Future

This desk-top reference on sustainable development provides
essential information for all who need to be up-to-date and
familiar with the implications of the legal, fiscal and planning
frameworks around the global and local sustainability agenda. It is
relevant to a range of organisations and individuals - from
national and local authorities, professional bodies, built
environment professions, academia, environmental consultancies,
non-governmental organisations and others.

Carefully designed to facilitate access for a diverse range of
stakeholders, it covers international, European, British and local
policies in key built environment themes, and develops their
inter-relationship to sustainable development.

The Directory addresses each theme in a series of tables which
summarise the policy purpose and also provide web-links to view the
specific policy documents. The themes covered are:

· Biodiversity

· Climate Change

· Construction

· Energy

· Environment

· Planning

· Pollution

· Social Issues

· Sustainable Development Policy and Practice

· Transport

· Urban Development

· Waste Management

· Water
