Regional Advisory Councils for Sustainable Development
The Regional Advisory Councils for Sustainable Development are consultative bodies for the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources. They seek to promote the co-responsible participation of all sectors of society in the protection, conservation and restoration of ecosystems, natural resources, and environmental goods and services, promoting their use and sustainable development. Altogether there are six Councils distributed in different regions of the country in which representatives of diverse sectors of the society, governments and Local Congresses participate.

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
