| Aims and Objectives | The Sustainable Development and Climate Change Strategy covers the period 2022 -2027. Sustainable development is about maintaining a stable level of economic growth and employment, whilst reducing resource consumption, producing clean alternative energy, protecting the natural environment, and enabling a quality of life which is fair, inclusive, and does not disadvantage anyone. Sustainable development is not just about considering the present but also how our actions and use of natural resources impacts future generations. |
| Conclusion | South Lanarkshire works to challenge disadvantage, discrimination, and inequality wherever it occurs in both the workplace and in the community and to deliver our vision to improve the quality of life of everyone in South Lanarkshire. Our focus remains to embed and achieve our legal equality duties of eliminating discrimination, harassment, and victimisation; advancing equality of opportunity; and fostering good relations in all that we do. The Council works with others to ensure that the needs of everyone are met when using a service, regardless of the protected characteristics identified in the Equality Act 2010: age; disability; gender reassignment; marriage and civil partnership; pregnancy and maternity; race; religion or belief; sex; sexual orientation. The EIA has shown that no negative impact on the following categories has been identified: age, disability, gender, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex, and sexual orientation. A key factor of Sustainable development is enabling a quality of life which is fair, inclusive, and does not disadvantage anyone. The assessment has demonstrated positive impacts on different groups with different level of impacts depending on the nature of the group. The strategy will encourage positive engagement with a full range of groups in South Lanarkshire. |
