our vision
The vision Waterford Environmental Forum holds for Waterford is that of a leading sustainable hub not only in Ireland but in Europe. WEF aims to develop and nurture a respectful and harmonious relationship between the people of Waterford and its environment, both natural and built. Waterford as a community should lead by example and act as a responsible steward for both the environment and for future generations. WEF aims to improve the long term welfare of not only Waterford Citizens but also of Waterford ecosystems. This will be done through innovation, collective action and collective responsibility.
Our Mission
WEF aims to achieve its vision through local and national policy advocacy. Using local specialist knowledge and expertise, we focus on improving and informing policy decisions. We focus on solutions that take into account the welfare of future generations and the long-term welfare of Waterford citizens. In doing so, our work prioritizes leaving the world (both natural and built) in a better condition than we come to find it in today so that future generations can continue to thrive and flourish for years to come.
