Department for Culture, Media and Sport
Key contributions to sustainable development:
1. Through the input of our sectors into changing behaviours: by example, in the maintenance of our buildings, and by our support for exhibitions on relevant subjects in Museums, libraries and galleries, and through the arts.
2. Through the input of the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) and English Heritage to the built and historic environment, in designing and greening public spaces (e.g. turning waste ground into parks).
3. Through trying to influence the input of tourism to the economy, in reacting to climate change, and in promoting the practise of sustainable tourism, for example through the Travel Foundation with FCO.
4. Through our support of initiatives to improve general health and reduce obesity by encouraging participation in sport and active leisure pursuits, in adults and in children.
5. Through our work with young people in providing alternative activities to involvement in crime, and raising awareness of their involvement in their communities, and in providing volunteering opportunities, through influencing the staging of major events (such as the London 2012 Olympic bid and Proms in the Park).
