Middlesbrough Council

Middlesbrough Council in the north of England has adopted the One Planet Living model, developed by BioRegional and WWF, to provide a new sustainability framework for council activities.

The council says that: “To help ensure that all aspects of improving quality of life are addressed sustainably, the One Planet Living framework has been adopted. This approach addresses economic, social and environmental issues in an integrated way, by using ten One Planet principles. The aim of the One Planet programme is for Middlesbrough to develop into a happier, healthier town where residents can live within their ‘fair share’ of the Earth’s resources.”
