Urban Environmental Accords
On June 5, 2005, San Francisco hosted United Nations World Environment Day, during which Mayor Gavin Newsom presented mayors from around the world with a unique opportunity: to create a set of objectives for an urban future that would be "ecologically sustainable, economically dynamic, and socially equitable." Based on existing best practices and applied to issues like energy, waste reduction, urban nature, transportation, and water, the Urban Environmental Accords have since been signed by more than a hundred mayors who have begun applying accord principles in their own cities across the globe.
Since that time, San Francisco has been adopting three Urban Environmental Accords actions per year. To learn more, click on the screenshot below to see San Francisco's progress with the Urban Environmental Accords, displayed with SEE-ITTM software."
