What next for the Sustainable Development Commission?

25th August 2010

On 22 July, Defra announced that it is to withdraw its funding for the Sustainable Development Commission from the end of the financial year.

Discussions are still taking place in the three Devolved Administrations to decide how the work of the SDC in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will be taken forward. However, Defra has indicated that it plans to mainstream sustainable development within Government.
