Agenda Ambiental Saltillo
Description
The Instituto Municipal de Planeación worked with various actors to structure the Saltillo Environmental Agenda, so that it was aligned with the governing plans of the state and the municipality, and that in turn contributed to the fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goals. On June 5, 2019, it is formally presented and the five axes and 31 concrete actions that will allow to counteract environmental problems are announced.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nOn September 12, 2019, the Citizen Council of the Environmental Agenda was installed to contribute and monitor the actions and thus fulfill its objective.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nCurrently there are 71 members that make up the Citizen Council of the Environmental Agenda, which come from the three levels of government, business chambers, private initiative, educational institutions, civil and non-governmental associations, and the general public interested in environmental issues.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe Citizen Council continues to add actors to get involved with this project. The Citizen Council of the Environmental Agenda meets quarterly and monitors the agreements and actions that fall within its competence, which are monitored through a compliance dashboard.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe success of the Saltillo Environmental Agenda is due to the commitment and participation that all the actors involved have, since from their experience and field of action it has been possible to enrich and advance this project in favor of the environment.
Saltillo is the most important urban nucleus in the southeast region of Coahuila. The municipality has grown rapidly during the last decades, as a result of an economic expansion that has turned the region into the concentration of the most important automotive industry in the country.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe vertiginous urbanization has brought with it a growing deterioration and destruction of our natural areas, reduction of the recharge surface of aquifers, atmospheric pollution, inadequate disposal of solid waste and polluting discharges in streams and greater vulnerability to natural phenomena that worsen. with the new climatic trends.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe only effective way to contribute to improving the environment of Saltillo is to change, as individuals, families, companies, educational communities and institutions, the habits and daily practices that damage our habitat.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nFor this reason, the Saltillo Environmental Agenda project arises from the interest and commitment that the state government and the municipal public administration have to care for and preserve the environment, which they reflect within their governing plans.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nIn the State Development Plan of Coahuila de Zaragoza 2017-2023, in the third axis, Sustainable Economic Development, in the specific objective 3.10 to ensure the right of Coahuila residents to a sustainable environment.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nOn the other hand, the Municipal Urban Development Plan Saltillo 2019-2021 contemplates in its Axis 6 the preservation of the environment. Specific objective 6. Promote public policies and work programs, with citizen participation, that contribute to the protection of the environment, in particular the natural areas of the municipality with high ecological value, as a basis for the sustainability of urban development.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nIn this way, the Saltillo Environmental Agenda is aligned with the aforementioned plans, and in turn contributes to the fulfillment of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe Saltillo Environmental Agenda focuses on five axes:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n1. Care and responsible consumption of water. (SDG 6)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n2. Conservation and restoration of natural areas. (SDG 15)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n3. Monitoring and control of air quality. (SDG 11)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n4. Reduction and separation of solid waste. (SDG 11)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n5. Strengthening of renewable energy generation. (SDG 7)
