Agenda 21: Chapter 28
LOCAL AUTHORITIES' INITIATIVES IN SUPPORT OF AGENDA 21
PROGRAMME AREA
Basis for action
28.1. Because so many of the problems and solutions
being addressed by Agenda 21 have their roots in local
activities, the participation and cooperation of local
authorities will be a determining factor in fulfilling
its objectives. Local authorities construct, operate and
maintain economic, social and environmental
infrastructure, oversee planning processes, establish
local environmental policies and regulations, and assist
in implementing national and subnational environmental
policies. As the level of governance closest to the
people, they play a vital role in educating, mobilizing
and responding to the public to promote sustainable
development.
