Local Agenda 21

Local Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan adopted by communities around the world to promote sustainable development. Originating from the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, it encourages local governments to engage with citizens, businesses, and organizations in creating strategies for environmental protection, economic growth, and social equity. The aim is to address issues like waste management, resource conservation, and community well-being, ensuring that future generations can thrive. Each community develops its own Local Agenda 21 tailored to its unique needs and challenges, fostering local solutions to global sustainability problems.
