Innovation in Scotland and Wales

Some of the most innovative thinking and practice in the field of sustainable development (SD) is taking place in Scotland and Wales - and we're looking for your stories to tell.

On March 7th, The Sustainable Development Commission (SDC) is hosting the first Celtic Nations conference with SDC Scotland and SDC Wales in association with CYNNAL CYMRU and the Scottish Sustainable Development Forum.

Keynote speaker Jonathon Porritt CBE, Chairman of the SDC pays tribute to the Devolved Administrations’ leadership: ‘The world is changing and the challenge of sustainable development is at last being taken seriously. Some of the most innovative thinking and practice in this area is emerging in Scotland and Wales’.

In advance of the conference, we're looking for your case studies of best practice in sustainable development in the Devolved Administrations - or for your comments on other people's contributions. Got a story to tell? - then do it now...
