REGIONAL ACTIONS IN PORI

Preparations for the Agenda 21 for the Pori region started in 1996. Altogether about 100 people representing various actors and eight municipalities were involved and the Environmental Forum of Pori Region was established.

Development of the Agenda 21 was realised in seven working groups dealing with different fields. Finally, an Agenda 21 for Pori Region was approved by city councils in the spring of 1998.

In the Agenda 21 for Pori Region the problems, goals, strategies, projects and indicators of sustainable development have been defined according to the following themes: environmental consciousness, communities, enterprises, community structure, nature, energy, traffic, natural resources, water systems, air quality, waste and leisure activities. The central points of Agenda 21 for Pori Region are regional cooperation and agenda projects which will turn sustainable development plans into concrete actions.

Since Local Agenda 21 has been approved new projects have started in:

  • managing handling of waste water for sparsely populated holiday settlements areas
  • starting of pilot project of the EAI concerning municipal planning
  • enterprises and environment in Pori region (brochure for schools)
  • "Streetbrush" (making the spring cleaning of streets more effective)
  • School Agenda 21
  • Municipal environmental auditing
