What is Sustainability?
Sustainability means meeting today’s needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. It balances economic growth, environmental protection, and social well-being—improving quality of life, safeguarding ecosystems, and preserving natural resources.
Wandsworth Council aims to create “a community of global citizens living within environmental limits in an attractive, high-quality local environment.” Wandsworth Lifelong Learning supports this vision by offering accredited and non-accredited courses that help individuals apply practical sustainability measures at work and at home.
