Environmental Policy Team
Based within the Environment Directorate of Lancashire County Council, the role of the Environment Policy team is to:
‘‘Operate corporately and in partnership to facilitate the County Council in its environmental sustainability leadership role.’’
The main objectives of the team are to:
- Put environmental sustainability at the heart of the County Councils policy and activity.
- Work in partnership to encourage closer collaboration on environmental sustainability at the local level between major agencies and stakeholders.
Raise awareness within, and to engage local communities.
We work on a wide range of different activities both within the county council and around the county. The Environmental Policy Team’s work is driven by international, national and local policy and programmes.
International Agenda
The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 brought together governments from around the world to develop an action plan that came to be known as Agenda 21. This presents the baseline to achieve sustainable development in the 21 st Century.
National Agenda
The UK Sustainable Development Strategy ‘Securing the Future’ was launched in March 2005, and lists priorities for UK action.
