A Positive Partnership

The Firth of Clyde Forum is a partnership project to care for the Clyde: its environment, its people and its visitors.
The Firth of Clyde Forum was set up in 1994, one of a series of similar projects across Scotland which arose out of the UK government's response to the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the international summit of the United Nation's Convention on Environment and Development.
A significant outcome of the summit was international agreement to pursue 'sustainable development' that is, planning for long term use of resources to meet our needs today and in the future.
This sustainable development approach can be applied at all levels, from international down to local.
