The UK examples were selected for their various innovatory approaches: Gloucestershire for its early devolution of lead responsibility to a voluntary organisation, Lancashire for its long-standing record on environmental management, Leicester for its inclusion in the Environment City network, and Reading for its neighbourhood-based approach (supported by the Worldwide Fund for Nature UK).
