  2. WEP-what is it? • Wirral Environmental Partnership • Other LSPs have absorbed environment; Wirral have accepted it as a discipline in its own right • Aims to reflect the LSP, in that it is a partnership between business, public services, and community and voluntary sector

  3. Drivers ‘Local schemes need to be sensitive to circumstances. Regions have Sustainable Development Frameworks based on local situations, knowledge and aspirations. DEFRA will encourage Local Strategic Partnerships to take account of these Frameworks so that they embody the principles of sustainable development and are based on community involvement at a very local level.’

  4. Which partnerships? • ‘We will work in partnership with businesses, other Departments and Government Offices to improve efficiency, through promoting better use of water, energy and materials, and through reductions in waste and polluting emissions.’ DEFRA

  5. Which strategy? • ‘The 1999 Modernising Government White Paper stressed that policy-making should be based on "careful appraisal of the benefits and measures it seeks to achieve, the costs it entails, and the burden on business’’ ‘ GO

  6. Monitoring and measurement • We will encourage innovation within business and society through setting further far-sighted targets, and the use of economic instruments to encourage change. DEFRA
