Integrating sustainability<br />

into our planning<br />

Following work undertaken in <strong>the</strong><br />

last few years to prepare a corporate<br />

environmental sustainability framework,<br />

<strong>Liverpool</strong> has continued its sustainability<br />

journey by participation in <strong>the</strong> ICLEI<br />

Sustainability Services triple bottom line<br />

governance project (ICLEI was formerly<br />

known as <strong>the</strong> International <strong>Council</strong> for<br />

Local <strong>Environment</strong>al Initiatives). Work<br />

on <strong>the</strong> project has allowed development<br />

<strong>of</strong> a practical way forward tailored to<br />

<strong>Liverpool</strong>’s circumstances as well as to <strong>the</strong><br />

proposed integrated planning system <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>State</strong> Government.<br />

Practical actions that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Council</strong> can<br />

now take to move fur<strong>the</strong>r along <strong>the</strong><br />

sustainability journey are <strong>the</strong> adoption<br />

<strong>of</strong> a definition <strong>of</strong> sustainability and<br />

accompanying sustainability principles and<br />

indicators.<br />
