#26 Saving Rossington
Placing the United Nations’ sustainable development goals at the heart of projects can regenerate UK communities. From a new 4km road link that saved a former mining community in Yorkshire, to a coastal replenishment scheme that brought new opportunity to Colwyn Bay in North Wales, we hear how incorporating the sustainable development goals is changing lives for the better.
Embracing the SDGs means doing things differently. It means
looking at local needs in a new way and asking what more can projects do to
enhance environment and improve opportunities for all. Crucially this must
happen now. The UK and 192 other nations have pledged to ensure that the SDGs
are met by 2030. But our first ever national review of UK progress on these
global goals shows that we have a long way to go if the UK is going to enable
all people, from all backgrounds to fulfil their potential and live rewarding
lives in a healthy environment.
This episode was produced in partnership with Mott MacDonald.
