Ciudades Sostenibles y Gobernabilidad Local (SCP)

 The urban environment and local governance has been accorded unparalleled attention in the recent international debate on development. UNCED, the 1992 Earth Summit, will be remembered as the conference in which the world acknowledged the importance of the environment for social and economic development. UNCED also recognised the potential of the SCP as a vehicle for implementing Agenda 21 at the city level, and recommended strengthening its role in this regard. The SCP provides municipal authorities, private and community sectors, with  improved capacities in environmental panning and management.
