The Key Strategic Partnership for the Environment theme is Swansea Environmental Forum.

The Partnership Vision is by 2020:

• Swansea’s unique and diverse natural environment will be protected, enhanced and promoted to maximize social, economic and environmental well-being.
• Swansea will have strong, sustainable and distinctive communities where everyone can enjoy a clean, safe and high-quality built environment with a mix of well-designed and resource-efficient buildings, affordable housing and open spaces.
• Swansea’s water resources, land and waste will be managed sustainably to maximise benefits for everyone and minimise risks to the environment and human health
• Swansea’s citizens will live near to work opportunities, leisure facilities and essential services, have access to a choice of convenient and efficient transport options, and enjoy clean air
• All people living in, working in and visiting Swansea will understand, respect and appreciate our environment and will participate in positive actions towards sustainability.
