<P>FOREWORD BY THE PRIME MINISTER
Foreword
The last 50 years have seen the transformation of the developed world’s
economies – from the shortages of the post-war period to the high-tech
globalisation of the 21st century. This transformation has brought with it
many benefits that are now taken for granted, but that were little more than
possibilities 50 years ago. But it has also brought with it new challenges
and pressures.
One of the greatest of these is the challenge of achieving continued
economic growth without the unacceptable costs of environmental and
social degradation. That was why I asked the Performance and Innovation
Unit (PIU) to investigate how Government could help to shift our economy
onto a more sustainable footing – how we could increase resource productivity,
producing more goods and services with fewer inputs of materials and energy,
and with less pollution and waste.
The PIU report clearly shows that greater resource productivity could offer
significant benefits not only to the environment but also to business. The PIU
argues that new methods that make use of fewer resources and minimise
waste point the way to a more sustainable economy in the future.
The PIU has researched the issues in considerable depth, and has identified
some areas where further action is needed. These conclusions are offered not
as a statement of Government policy, but rather as a contribution to the
debate. The recommendations made in the PIU report show how we could
build on existing policy to improve our resource productivity. These represent
only a first step. They will need to be followed up in consultation with experts
and colleagues in the UK and overseas.
The Government recognises that the issues raised in this report are important.
We are fully committed to the report’s implementation. The promise is clear:
that instead of seeing the environment and the economy as two opposing
interests, an agenda focused on resource productivity can deliver high levels
of growth and employment alongside effective environmental protection for
generations to come.
