Foreword

“We are proud to introduce "Eco Island" as the Sustainable Community Strategy for the Isle of Wight to 2020.

The Island Strategic Partnership shares an inspirational vision, which it will achieve by ethical, effective and determined partnership working across all sections of the community.

Our ambition is clear: we will have the smallest carbon footprint in England by 2020. Together, we will achieve that ambition and build a thriving economy by attracting innovative businesses, and by encouraging strong and healthy local communities.

The Island Strategic Partnership is fully committed to the delivery of Eco Island and, as it moves into the next stage in its development, this document will be our guide to Eco Island success”.
