The One Planet Communities programme is creating a network of the earth’s greenest neighbourhoods. By working with private and public property developers it aims to help create places where it is easy, attractive and affordable for people to live healthy, happy lives within a fair share of the earth’s resources.
To help with this we have devised a set of 10 One Planet principles. These principles are used to structure a holistic response to the unique sustainability challenges of a development project. The principles cover areas ranging from energy demand and generation, waste, transport, water use, materials, food, equality, and heritage.
