Shaping our future

The joint ministerial and third sector task force for the environment launched its first report - Shaping our Future - on 9 March 2010. Ben Hughes, bassac chief executive was a task force member.

Shaping our future identifies the distinct roles that should be taken by national and local government, business, consumers and the third sector in preparing and adapting to climate change. It calls on the third sector to use its networks and local reach to provide individuals with the collective opportunities to act.

This briefing paper summarises the parts of the report that specifically affect the voluntary and community sector and briefly explains why bassac is involved and how we plan to deliver on our commitments.
