Project description
The objective of the project is the development of innovative mechanisms and instruments for the increase of environmental benefits and sustainable growth in Uruguay. This will be achieved through a set of coordinated activities that will strengthen the capacities of public and private institutions to establish better consultation mechanisms and incorporate environmental considerations into the decision-making process for the country's sustainable development. The project will support a strategy that integrates elements of innovation, science, knowledge, governance and participation to the environmental dimension of sustainable development. For this, the project has been structured in the following components: 1. Support for the improvement in the coordinated implementation of international agreements by the environmental authority; 2. Creation of capacities for the integration of the Rio Conventions to national procedures and regulations in the productive sectors; 3. Contribution of civil society to sustainable development and 4. Model program for integrated environmental management at the local level. The project will be implemented by the Ministry of Housing, Territorial Planning and the Environment, in close coordination with civil society.
