"The Forum is an invaluable resource. We use it to keep in touch and collaborate with other public sector stakeholders committed to sustainability and connect to a wider movement of change across Northern Ireland. We have also found Sustainable NI extremely helpful on issues relating to climate change policy, compliance and strategy."
