UKSSD
Bioregional hosts the secretariat for UKSSD, a dynamic, multi-stakeholder network that’s working to implement the SDGs in the UK
Influencing wider change
Bioregional works to influence wider sustainable change by building alliances with partners and spreading best practice from our work and that of our partners
We use our practical experience to influence wider sustainable change in several ways. For example, we create and support alliances aimed at driving home the UN Sustainable Development Goals both in the UK and globally.
We also support cities and city-regions to engage a wide range of stakeholders to create sustainability strategies in line with One Planet Living.
And we advocate for policy change on issues that will help unlock the barriers to One Planet Living, with a particular focus in the UK on zero-carbon homes.
