Organization Description |
UN-Habitat is the UN agency for human settlements. It is mandated to promote socially and environmentally sustainable towns and cities with the goal of providing adequate shelter for all.
The Sustainable Cities Programme (SCP), a joint UN-Habitat/UNEP program, was established to build capacities in urban environmental planning and management (EPM) with participatory approaches . It targets urban local authorities and their partners. The objectives of its present activities are: improve EPM/SCP applications, develop an institutional framework and network for sustained support to partners and institutionalize SCP normative activities.
The Regional Office for Latin American and the Caribbean (ROLAC) of UN-Habitat collaborates with SCP/LA21 in the implementation of the regional component of the programme, presently working in 5 countries. Both offices are collaborating in the formulation of GEO-Cities studies and city environmental profiles and action plans under the SCP/LA21 component.
