Citizen Commitment to Sustainability – a More Sustainable Barcelona
In December 2012, more than 800 institutions, professional associations, unions, trade unions, universities, schools and businesses signed the 10 goals set by the "Public Commitment towards Sustainability 2012-2022 - Compromís 22". The Commitment sets 10 goals for a more equitable, prosperous and self-sufficient Barcelona, through the involvement, commitment and collaboration of the entities signing the public commitment. It takes over the "Public Commitment towards Sustainability 2002-2012" which reached the end of its term after a career of 10 years of collective work to make Barcelona a more livable, efficient and sustainable city, following 10 major goals and 100 lines of action.
Through the network of signatories, called "For a More Sustainable Barcelona" participation, exchange of information and resources are promoted. It gives projection to the initiatives of the member organizations and promotes collaboration opportunities. "For a more Sustainable Barcelona" Secretariat, sponsored by the city council of Barcelona, offers tailored advice to all members of the network as well as consultation, training, organization of meetings and communication tools.
