Agenda 21 & Local Agenda 21

Agenda 21 is the United Nation's (UN) action plan for the 21st century. It calls for action to improve human living conditions for future generations.

Local authorities around the world were asked to work with their own communities to develop action plans about the issues covered in Agenda 21: a Local Agenda 21. The UN has since held summits to update the world on progress towards sustainable development.
