Ensuring <strong>the</strong> delivery of green infrastructure is one of five key priorities in <strong>the</strong> Integrated<br />

<strong>Regional</strong> Strategy, which is <strong>the</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Midlands</strong> sustainable development framework.<br />

The <strong>Regional</strong> Assembly's Environment group has been working with partners to link<br />

regional environmental policy to <strong>the</strong> delivery mechanisms at regional, sub-regional and<br />

local levels. This document; <strong>Green</strong> <strong>Infrastructure</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Midlands</strong> - a Public<br />

Benefit Mapping Project [title in italics] maps <strong>the</strong> multiple public benefits that green<br />

infrastructure can deliver across <strong>the</strong> region. These benefits include adapting to climate<br />

change, improving health and biodiversity.<br />

THIS PROVIDES THE STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK FOR ALL PARTNERS TO DELIVER THE "GREEN" BIT OF<br />

SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES IN THE EAST MIDLANDS. WE HOPE THIS PROVIDES A GREAT STARTING<br />

POINT FOR ALL PARTNERS TO PLAY A VITAL ROLE IN ENSURING A BETTER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL.<br />
