College homework. The criteria asks for a description of how & why legislation and policies have been developed in relation to sustainable development. With so many other items to cover, my mind has gone blank =)

I am assuming you are in the UK…

this is the UK sustainable development main govt. site… if you read the pdfs which are linked to on this page,,, that might help..
the introductions often give a good overview of the subject… that and the executive summaries (if there are any)…. usually help. they may also refer to other papers which are relevant to the subject… also have a look at any referencing… If you find the original source,,, it may give you further clarification with out being clouded by interpretation for the second or sometimes third time…
Good luck…
