The McGill-UNEP Collaborating Centre on Environmental Assessment would like to invite you to take part in a survey to share your perspective on Ireland's National Sustainable Development Strategy, "Sustainable Development: A Strategy for Ireland" (1997) and its associated documentation.
This is a completely anonymous, web-based survey and it can be accessed at: http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/WEB22AZDKL7C66
It should take no longer than 15 minutes to complete. The results from this survey will contribute to an evaluation of the national and/or provincial/state Sustainable Development Strategies of government in five nations: Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
This research involves a comparative analysis of each country's strategy (and associated documentation), as well as a survey of environmental consultants and practitioners in each jurisdiction. The purpose of this survey is to add a third-party perspective to the analysis, offering a measure of control against the potential bias in government self-reporting.
We hope you will take this opportunity to have a say in evaluating the sustainable development strategy of your government. All participants are eligible to receive a free summary of the research findings and will be automatically entered in the random drawing of a $100 gift certificate from Amazon.com.
We would also ask that you please circulate this invitation to the firms and individual consultants associated with your organization if you think they would be interested in contributing to our study.
Sincerely,
