Sustainable Edinburgh 2020

Sustainable Edinburgh 2020 sets out the Council's vision for the sustainable development of the City to 2020. It details a framework for action which will be embedded into all Council policies, programmes and services; but recognises that, for the city to develop sustainably, a wider range of actions is required, involving all individuals, organisations and sectors of the city working together.

Sustainable Edinburgh 2020 is available in two versions: 

• Sustainable Edinburgh 2020 full colour version for viewing online
• Sustainable Edinburgh 2020 text-only version for printing (if required)

Sustainable Edinburgh 2020 Online Survey

Thank you to everyone who took part in the recent online survey. A key aim of the survey was to help shape potential actions to implement Sustainable Edinburgh 2020. Survey respondents suggested a range of actions, both strategic and practical, touching on all ten framework commitments.

The survey also demonstrated the wide range of sustainable development activity already taking place across the city, providing a strong platform for future action.

Appendix 1 of the Sustainable Edinburgh 2020: Action Plan report, approved by the Council's Policy and Strategy Committee on 27 March 2012, provides further information about the online survey.
