For A Sustainable Coventry In Coventry, as in so many other cities across the world, people are becoming
more concerned about the pressures that our everyday lives are putting on the earth’s
resources.
This concern isn’t just
about protecting the environment for the sake of it but it is because more and more people
are seeing that the state of the world’s natural resources like clean air and fresh
water and the state of the environment we live in affect our own health, well being and
happiness.
Indicators for a Sustainable
Coventry brings together 20 measures for the city which reflect:
Environmental
Conditions |
HOUSEHOLD WASTE
|
and |
|
Social and
Economic
Conditions |
UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMANTS
|
Of the 20
indicators that were measured
|
six were
found to be moving towards sustainability |
|
eight were
found to be moving away sustainability |
|
six
indicators were neither positive nor negative. This is because for some there has been no
significant change over a number of years, for others it is only the first year that this
data has been collected and one has not yet been monitored, but was considered important
and will be investigated in the future. |
