| Public Sector Sustainability under the spotlight |
 A sustainable society needs local and central government to lead the way by consuming differently, and by planning effectively and efficiently in order to integrate sustainable practices in the services it provides to citizens, and throughout its estates and workforce.Local councils are uniquely placed to help deliver this change as they interact with their communities to develop local sustainability policies. With plans now underway to make sustainable development integral to the new Comprehensive Area Assessments, local government executives need to be kept abreast of regional, national and international developments in sustainable and environmental practice. Government office estates plan to be carbon neutral by 2012. Sustainability Officers, Environmental Managers and Procurement Specialists are all striving to achieve this by working together to identify practices and products that help achieve this difficult target. Government Sustainability magazine will report on the practices, products and partnerships that are helping to reduce the threat of climate change. Each issue will contain specially selected and commissioned feature material that reflects the current market, written by both in-house staff and by independent contributors. Government Sustainability Magazine will be distributed to those working in central government, local authorities, regional development agencies, police forces and the NHS.
