Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
World Commission on Environment and Development 1987
Sustainable Merton is a community led initiative giving local residents, groups, organisations and businesses the opportunity to stimulate practical action to make our area a sustainable community.
The thinking behind Sustainable Merton is simply that a borough using energy and resources in a sustainable way could, if properly planned for and designed, be more resilient, more abundant and more pleasurable than at present.
Sustainable Merton is a Registered Charity; No.1123041
