ICLEI – SA invites information on good practices from cities for improving urban environment
ICLEI – SA has begun an initiative to document good practices on sustainable management of urban environment by cities. While several local governments are taking steps towards promoting environment friendliness in their activities, there is a dearth of proper documentation regarding them. In this context, ICLEI SA invites information on good practices - case examples from interested cities.
Good Practices will include policy initiatives or actions implemented that contribute to improving the urban environment ie. air, water, or living conditions in some way. We appreciate that some cities are doing a lot in their own ways to improve the environment and seek your inputs to document and share these initiatives with others.
Some of the selected good practices will be available for reference on the ICLEI- SA website and also on the India Urban Portal of the National Institute of Urban Affairs. The "Peer Experience and Reflective Learning" (PEARL) is an initiative under JnNURM to support cities to actively pursue activities in implementation of projects and reforms by networking amongst themselves for cross learning and sharing experiences. The Indiaurbanportal is hosted by the NIUA under the same initiative.
Cities may upload their good practices in this "format" . You may get in touch with Ashish Rao Ghorpade at ashish.rao-ghorpade@iclei.org in case there is a good practice you like to share but need support to document the same.
