One Million Sustainable Homes Campaign

At the World Summit on Sustainable Development, held in Johannesburg in August 2002, WWF launched its groundbreaking One Million Sustainable Homes (OMSH) campaign to bring sustainable homes from the fringes of the housing sector to the mainstream.

For the last five years WWF has been working with government, industry and consumers to move sustainable homes from the fringes to the mainstream of the UK housing sector. The campaign has surpassed all expectations, and has had a lasting and significant influence over the housing sector. Find out how WWF sought to remove the barriers towards sustainable homes.

OMSH consistently made the link between WWF's work to conserve species and habitats and people's daily lives in the UK, where our homes, communities and associated lifestyles have major impacts on the global as well as the local environment. As such, it forms an ideal platform to bridge to WWF's new One Planet Future campaign under which we will be shifting our focus to a large degree to the UK's 26 million existing homes
