Enhancing Regional Sustainability: A Comprehensive Framework for Local Prosperity

This overview highlights the Regional Sustainability Framework (RSF) developed by the Sustainable Futures Group, aimed at maintaining and enhancing sustainable prosperity and quality of life in the region. The RSF articulates two overarching regional goals, 24 objectives with associated targets and indicators, and provides guidance for sustainability appraisal. Engaging with local communities, the initiative prioritizes sustainable resource use, carbon footprint reduction, climate change adaptation, and addressing deprivation. Its pilot approach seeks to create synergies for sustainable development, ensuring impactful community strategies.
