One Planet Living in Middlesbrough
Middlesbrough Council – We’re a One Planet Council!
Middlesbrough Council’s work to create a more sustainable town has received an international award.
We are the first council in the North of England – and only the second in the country and across the world – to receive accreditation as a One Planet Council.
The award has been made by BioRegional, a leading international environmental sustainability charity.
We have adopted their One Planet Living® framework across all the services we provide for the town.
The framework covers the familiar environmental concerns but also includes social and economic factors to offer an all-round approach to sustainability – whether it be developing a sustainable lifestyle, a sustainable household, sustainable council or a sustainable town.
We are working with key partner organisations to help them introduce One Planet Living principles into how they deliver their services.
The One Planet Living approach builds on our work with local people over the past 20 years or so to encourage environmentally sustainable lifestyles.
