  • R.76/2021 the Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’S National and International Identity
    R.76/2021 The Island Identity Policy Development Board Jersey’s National and International Identity Interim Findings Report 1 Foreword Avant-propos What makes Jersey special and why does that matter? Those simple questions, each leading on to a vast web of intriguing, inspiring and challenging answers, underpin the creation of this report on Jersey’s identity and how it should be understood in today’s world, both in the Island and internationally. The Island Identity Policy Development Board is proposing for consideration a comprehensive programme of ways in which the Island’s distinctive qualities can be recognised afresh, protected and celebrated. It is the board’s belief that success in this aim must start with a much wider, more confident understanding that Jersey’s unique mixture of cultural and constitutional characteristics qualifies it as an Island nation in its own right. An enhanced sense of national identity will have many social and cultural benefits and reinforce Jersey’s remarkable community spirit, while a simultaneously enhanced international identity will protect its economic interests and lead to new opportunities. What does it mean to be Jersey in the 21st century? The complexity involved in providing any kind of answer to this question tells of an Island full of intricacy, nuance and multiplicity. Jersey is bursting with stories to tell. But none of these stories alone can tell us what it means to be Jersey. In light of all this complexity why take the time, at this moment, to investigate the different threads of what it means to be Jersey? I would, at the highest level, like to offer four main reasons: First, there is a profound and almost universally shared sense that what we have in Jersey is special.

Tel: (01534) 441600 Email [email protected] Or visit www.gov.je/Environment Publication date: December 2011 2 Executive Summary Foreword from the Minister The Chief Minister, in his recent policy statement, asserted that: “The Environment Department must become the environmental conscience of our government and our community”. As Minister responsible for the Department of the Environment, I am very willing to take up this role and am pleased to publish this comprehensive report on the progress made across a wide range of environmental areas over the last six years. Since 2005, major strategies have been debated and agreed in respect of waste management, water resources legislation, transport, the rural economy and a new Island Plan and the Eco-Active campaign and brand is now well recognised. Whilst good progress has been made, there is still much to do, and each section of this report includes details of policies that need to be developed and extended over the next five year period. Environmental policies centre on the wise use of resources. Jersey has made an international commitment to the Kyoto protocol in respect of reducing “greenhouse gas” emissions. Achieving the target set by Kyoto will require substantial changes to the way that we use energy into the future and the policies developed within the forthcoming Energy Strategy must address this fundamental issue.

  • Jersey Location Geography Climate
    Jersey Location The Bailiwick of Jersey is located in Europe and has a total area of 45 square miles. Jersey is the largest of the Channel Islands, which are located in the English Channel, off the coast of Normandy, France, and include Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm, and Jethou. Jersey is 9 miles long and 5 miles wide. The island is 14 miles north of France and 100 miles south of Great Britain. It is bordered on the north by the English Channel and on the south by the Bay of Mont St Michel. Its political boundaries also include the reefs of Minquiers and the Ecrehous. (Jones) Geography The geography of the island is mainly gentle and rolling, with rougher hills along the northern coast with the English Channel. The highest point is 143 meters, while sea level is the island’s lowest point. The island’s location in between the Bay of Mont St Michel and the English Channel gives the island tidal ranges of over 40 feet, among the largest range in the world. Most of the island is a plateau which sweeps towards sea level as one travels south. The west end of the island features St Ouen’s Pond, which is Jersey’s largest fresh water source. The interior of the island is home to pastoral grazing lands and home to most of Jersey’s agriculture. Climate Jersey’s climate is quite temperate, due to its location in the English Channel. The island is the sunniest place in the British Isles with an average of over 1,951 hours per year.
