International Seminar: "Where did the local environmental management go? Contributions and suggestions for Rio+20"
The International Seminar "Where did the local environmental management go? Contributions and Suggestions for Rio+20" was an initiative of the municipality of Calera de Tango, together with the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLAC) during which experiences of local environmental management were shared to improve the practice in analysis. The seminar had more than 150 participants, including mayors, representatives of NGOs, businessmen, authorities of the Ministry of Environment and the Secretary of Regional and Administrative Development.
