Author: Susan Buckingham
The importance of local programmes in driving sustainable development has been enshrined in Local Agenda 21, arguably the most influential output of the 1992 Rio 'Earth' Summit. Its importance has been reiterated more recently by the Johannesburg Summit in 2002.
Local Environmental Sustainability sets the context for local environmental sustainability and, in particular, considers how local government can promote sustainable development by building partnerships with different groups and organisations in the local community. Using case studies, individual chapters focus on different types of regional and local initiatives, the partnerships that have made them possible, and the key issues in making them effective.
Local Environmental Sustainability provides a blueprint for both local governments and local communities to work together effectively for a more sustainable future.
An important new study focusing on the links between local environmental initiatives and the provision of sustainable services
Includes case studies showing how local government initiatives can work in the community
Considers the relationship between local programmes and the implementation of Local Agenda 21
