Baildon & Shipley FOE – SP6
1. Bradford’s economic growth needs to be sustainable. Any aim to develop the “fastest growing economy” is at odds with tackling the Climate Emergency.
2. Bradford needs to move away from carbon- intensive jobs and sectors to low carbon sectors.
3. Sustainable development is about ensuring an economy that meets the needs of people now, within environmental limits, and allows future generations to meet their needs.
4. Embrace Doughnut Economics, and evaluate what is happening in Preston.
5. Bradford needs to play to its strengths when establishing a Plan, for instance with respect to the arts and creative industries. The Preston model can be used as a blueprint.
