Footprint Wales brings together a diverse group of organisations working to ensure that through the footprint methodology can help move Wales onto a more sustainable path. It has been formed out of the Reducing Wales’ Ecological Footprint (2005) working group which led the first project to measure the footprint of a country - Wales - but also that of two counties – Cardiff and Gwynedd.
The aims of Footprint Wales are to promote best practice in the use, value and application of the Ecological Footprint and associated resource accounting techniques in Wales.
It also aims to provide a focal point for all Ecological Footprint practitioners, advocates, communicators and educators within Wales to share information and ideas, and to learn about new and existing initiatives occurring both inside and outside of Wales.
