Rising expectations and reducing budgets are obstacles that the public sector needs to overcome when tackling sustainability.
The public sector is under increasing scrutiny to act in line with commitments like climate emergency declarations and net-zero commitments.
However, alongside these rising expectations, budgets are still tightening in the wake of multiple recessions, making it even harder for the public sector to take the decisive action needed to tackle the entrenched issues of sustainability. With a mandate to act for the public good, or charitable aims at the heart of your organisation, it can be difficult to navigate competing voices and ensure that you can continue to deliver against your core aims while taking action to make your organisation truly sustainable.
