The phrase 'greening government' was coined by the Committee to describe the objective of ensuring environmental concerns are incorporated into all aspects of government policy, in terms of appraisal and development, as well as in operational aspects of departmental performance (such as recycling waste and reducing energy consumption). In this document, the Government states its disagreement with the Committee's conclusion that, although progress has been made in some areas, there has been a perceptible loss of overall momentum, particularly in embedding sustainable development within government policy making.

This book was released on 2009-08-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Committee's eighth report on the sustainable operations on the Government estate. There has been some progress against targets but the Sustainable Development Commission has found that in 2007-08 the Government was not on track to meet its target for the reduction of carbon emissions from its own buildings. The Government was on track to meet its targets for recycling and for the sourcing of electricity from renewable sources, but it performed less well than it had in 2006-07. It must improve the sustainability of its operations each year. The ease with which the Government continues to meet some targets, even when its performance worsens, indicates the urgent need for the Government to set itself more stringent targets. The Government should extend the system of targets and monitoring beyond central government and agencies to the wider public sector, including its outsourced operations. The Government has the potential to drive change in the wider economy through sustainable procurement, through investment in low carbon technologies and by driving the development of "green" skills in the workforce. But the Sustainable Development Commission found that Government performed poorly against its own targets. The Government must use its buying power to drive progress towards a greener economy. Many of the changes to the governance of Government's sustainable operations have been confusing or ineffective. The Government must ensure that there is a clear line of accountability for these matters, and the Cabinet Office Minister responsible must take an active role in overseeing performance management.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the Committees fifth report on foreign policy aspects of the war against terrorism since the events of 11 September 2001. It makes 74 conclusions and recommendations on a broad range of issues, including the political and security situations in Iraq and Afghanistan and related reconstruction issues; the role of Pakistan in the war against terrorism and human rights issues; Russias foreign policy role, the war in Chechnya, chemical weapons stockpiles and non-proliferation programmes; the Israeli-Palestine conflict; international law aspects, including collective action through the UN, anticipatory self-defence and humanitarian intervention; and the continuing threat from al Qaeda. The text of UN Security Council Resolution 1546, adopted in June 2004, is included as an appendix. The range of issues discussed reflects the Committees view that the diverse threats to security posed by terrorism and failed states are, or could become, inter-connected, and that they need to be considered and countered as part of a coherent strategy.
