The Society is very much aware that there is a close relationship between environmental and social dimensions of sustainability. At our Board meeting in September we adopted a policy on environment and citizenship which is available to download below. We see this relationship as making a very positive contribution to the development of a harmony in social diversity.
We are also delighted to announce our new venture with Judy Ling Wong, UK Director of Black Environment Network (BEN). This is an organisation with an international reputation as the pioneer in the field of ethnic participation in the built and natural environment. BEN works across diverse sectors, integrating social, cultural and environmental concerns. Current themes include natural conservation, urban design, history and heritage, health, access to the outdoors and urban green spaces.
The Society now wishes to pursue this initiative with bodies such as the Commission for Racial Equality and the Home Office.
