Welsh Ministers have a duty under section 79 of the Government of Wales Act 2006 to have a Scheme setting out how they propose to promote sustainable development. Jane Davidson AM, Minister for Environment, Sustainability and Housing recently announced her decision to remake this Scheme for Sustainable Development.  As part of the consultation on this, we are holding three consultation events across Wales. The Scheme is a strategic document which brings together the outcomes the Welsh Assembly Government wants to achieve through existing One Wales commitments in terms of their impact for people and communities in Wales and it will also reflect the importance of setting out a pathway to Wales using only our fair share of the earth’s finite resources.  The Scheme will identify a number of new high level commitments to promote sustainable development.
