Description
Udalsarea 2030 is the Basque Network of Sustainable Municipalities. The mission of Udalsarea 2030 is to work in a coordinated manner for local sustainable development, foster the co-responsibility of its members, and drive the incorporation of sustainability from a comprehensive approach in municipal policies. This is achieved by developing management and planning methodologies that foster the transformative actions aimed at improving the quality of life for all. This innovative, dynamic and consolidated network is made up of the three levels of the Basque public administration, and where the local authorities play a key role. 191 of the 251 municipalities of the Basque Country are members and actively involved in Udalsarea 2030. There are therefore a large number of Local Sustainability Action Plans, which are progressively improving the quality of life of their local populations, who account for 96% of the Basque population in total. Furthermore, the network also comprises the Basque Government, Provincial Councils and other municipal public authorities. Created in 2002, it has become a benchmark in Europe for networking and the transformative actions of its members. After 20 years experience in local sustainability, Udalsarea 2030 and its members are making the transition from the governance model promoted by Agenda 21 to the new model based on Agenda 2030, both led by the United Nations.
Udalsarea 2030 advances in the localization of the Sustainable Development Goals, their targets and indicators to the reality of Basque municipalities. It is expected that a large number of Basque municipalities will have their Local Sustainability Action Plan, and that they will implement the actions of this plan. To measure it, there is a wide indicator, monitoring and follow-up system. According to the latest Assessment and Monitoring Programme of the Public Sustainability Polices, the data available at the LOCAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OBSERVATORY OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY are: - 30 local sustainability plans assessed from the perspective of SDG - 3,122 actions analyzed - 5800 indicators calculated by de participating municipalities.
Lead by IHOBE, the Udalsarea 2030 (Basque Network of Sustainable Municipalities) includes 191 Basque municipalities and county entities, Presidency of the Basque Government, Provincial Councils and agents such as URA (Basque Water Agency) and EVE (Basque Energy Agency). These all are local and regional governments.
