The Environmental Agenda

As part of its project of "Reimagining San Miguel," the Education Collaborative is organizing bi-lingual discussions based on the Agenda Ambiental, developed by the University Seminar on Society, the Environment & Institutions (SUSMAI) at the UNAM. Each program examines one of the agenda items and how it affects our region. Why do we need an environmental agenda? What are we doing? What should we do? What kind of projects could help us build a sustainable community?

The goals of The Environmental Agenda include:

  • To place socio-environmental issues at the center of the public agenda
  • To promote citizen participation
  • To promote the production of pertinent, reliable, transparent and accessible information about the state of ecosystems and natural resources, and the socio-environmental impact of production methods, mega-projects and public policy.
  • To promote the integral management of environmental issues across public agencies.
  • To promote environmental justice
