The South West Round Table for Sustainable Development (renamed "Sustainability South West" from 2000) was set up in 1998 through the Government Office for the South West.
In 2000 the Government Office for the South West commissioned SSW to prepare the first Regional Sustainable Development Framework for the South West of England on behalf of the region. This framework was launched in March 2001 and can be found on this site: RSDF.
Originally SSW's web site was hosted here on www.oursouthwest.com; in early 2004 it launched its own independent web site at
www.sustainabilitysouthwest.org.uk where full details of its members and work programme can be found.
