The Lord Provost's Commission on Sustainable Development

In 1997 the Lord Provost of Edinburgh commissioned a year long city wide debate on the issues and opportunities for Sustainable Development in Edinburgh. The debate took the form of a Royal Commission and was hosted by a panel of 15 Commissioners - individuals representing different sectors of the Edinburgh community. A report was produced with 127 recommendations for actively moving towards a more sustainable city.
