National Council of Environmental Sustainability and Vulnerabilities (CONASAV)
The National Council of Environmental Sustainability and Vulnerabilities is an initiative of the Presidency of El Salvador. It is a space for cooperation and dialogue to design the country's environmental policies. The agency seeks to combat climate change and its potential effects on the most disadvantaged population. It represents a wide variety of social sectors: academia, private enterprise, environmental experts, non-governmental organizations, churches, indigenous communities, social media, political parties, municipal authorities and sectors such as transport and finance. Among its first activities is the organization of thematic tables open to citizens to set proposals and receive inputs from civil society on the policies and issues that should be discussed in the council.

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
