INTRODUCTION
• Malaysia is a signatory to the Agenda 21
document (Earth Summit, 1992)
• Now, communities are still asking if the
principles of LA21 are carried out effectively
by local authorities (as the lead agencies)
• The govt has taken many steps, but…
• So, is LA21 still relevant?
?

WHAT IS AGENDA 21?

present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own
needs (Brundtland Report, 1987)

LOCAL AGENDA 21
• Agenda 21 at the local level: local authorities
• Chapter 28 of the Agenda 21 document:
Because so many of the problems and solutions
being addressed by Agenda 21 have their roots in
local activities, the participation and cooperation
of local authorities will be a determining factor in
fulfilling its objectives
Each local authority should enter into a dialogue
with its citizens, local organisations and private
enterprises and adopt "a local Agenda 21"
