Agenda 21
- What is Agenda 21?
- Agenda 21 is a United Nations (UN) sustainable development
programme agreed at the various Earth summits. Governments
are obliged o formulate national plans or straggles for
sustainable development.
- What does Agenda 21 specify?
- Agenda 21 states that it is people, not
governments, who engage in development,
and therefore sustainable development is
essentially a local activity.
- Everyone, however poor or rich, has some ability to
change what they do in a small or big way

- Implementation of Agenda 21
- Local authorities in many parts of the
world are being to translate Agenda 21
into local action.
- Suggested strategies by local authorities:
(All of these strategies are applied to the
local area)
- Effectively monitoring air and water
quality
- Promoting energy efficiency
- Establishing an effective
recycling system
- Introducing efficient forms of
public transport
- Placing population management at
the heat of any activity
- Effectively monitoring air and water
quality
- Suggested strategies by local authorities:
(All of these strategies are applied to the
local area)
- Just as global sustainability cannot exist
without national sustainability polices,
national Agenda 21 is incomplete without
a local Agenda 21
- Authorities in developing countries, such as
most sub-Saharan African countries, can
introduce local population management by:
- Training community nurses to be responsible for all elements of care
- Prenatal
- Midwifery
- Childcare
- Inoculations and care for elderly people
- Educating adolescents about AIDS and HIV
- Prenatal
- Increasing levels of female literacy, thereby raising
aspirations and improving levels of prevention and care
within families
- Training community nurses to be responsible for all elements of care
- Authorities in developed countries can:
- Trying sufficient medical care workers to look after the
rising numbers of elderly people, especially those too old or
infirm to look after themselves.
- This would reduce the need to recruit medical workers from oversea.
- This would reduce the need to recruit medical workers from oversea.
- Recognise that birth rates are falling and
consider the issue that may arise from having
smaller numbers of children and eventually a
reduced workforce
