The MOD Sustainable Development Strategy provides direction on what Defence must do to become increasingly sustainable during the period 2011-2030.

It is a sub-strategy of the Strategy for Defence, drawing on the Defence Strategic Direction and the Defence Plan 2011. It takes account of the outcomes of the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2010.
 
The document comprises two parts: the Strategy, a policy-compliant and resource-aware document which looks out 20 years; and the Plan, which provides the detail for the first four years (2011 to 2015).
 
It will drive further progress in:

Ensuring that Defence decision-making processes fully consider and respond to environmental, social and economic impacts, threats and opportunities; Reducing our reliance on fossil fuel; Reducing waste production and increasing reuse and recycling; Reducing water consumption; Engaging suppliers in our sustainability agenda.
