At the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development 178 countries voted to adopt Agenda 21. Agenda 21 is non-binding action plan that sets climate sustainability and poverty. guidelines for national, state and local governments. Proponents argue that the agenda’s guidelines will encourage federal and local governments to protect the environment and combat poverty. Opponents argue that global organizations should not make rules for local governments and these rules are unnecessary because they are impossible to enforce.

Yes, and the UN should be abolished

Only if it makes sense based on our society needs and environmental guardianships and also financial support for the people
@9TXBP2YIndependent7mos7MO
Yes as a framework but also look at local needs and adopt additional measures, or equivalent alternatives if it makes more sense
@9TD8FMR7mos7MO
Take it into consideration but every city is different and needs to also figure out whats best for that plot of land.
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Have it as a guideline for public policy to find solutions that work and can accomplish goals of the Paris Agreement.
@8ZN4YG43yrs3Y
Yes, we should follow the goals of the Paris Agreement and take the necessary steps, however we must also look at practical solutions that work for our communities/economy, and work to be the one of the global leaders in environmentalism.
@Steeviemac4yrs4Y
Yes, and increase sanctions on countries that are the top contributors of global pollution.
@8TXC8SH4yrs4Y
Something to work towards
@8TV83B94yrs4Y
Yes but be able to adjust to local needs
@8TQTW27New Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but most local governments do not receive enough funding and more government revenue should be allocated to local governments
@8T2Q2KY4yrs4Y
Yes, but local solutions that work for each community should be more prominent
@shaelynj4yrs4Y
no, come up with local solutions for each area while also getting rid of or reforming the UN
@8V4VMLC4yrs4Y
Yes, but listen to our own people and come up with solutions that work for each community while increasing sanction on high polluting countries.
@8G7SDPG5yrs5Y
Yes, and increase sanctions on countries that are top contributors of global pollution as well.
@95K5YQG3yrs3Y
They should be a guideline, but they should figure out solutions that work for each community rather than adhering to one way.
@945C4M23yrs3Y
Yes, but they should make up community solutions that work.
Yes, but we have to come up with ways in which it works for us, as every different nation has different factors.
@9CSJ4922yrs2Y
It depends. Sometimes these requirements are inappropriate or not the best alternative.
@9BK2RQ62yrs2Y
It's a good guideline, but it's not legally binding. So, instead we should have people take inspiration from it and work to find solutions that work for each nation, province/state and community, town or city.
It's a good starting point, but I would say that it's important to come up with solutions that work for each community, so that we can protect the environment but also do it in a way that is beneficial to the communities that we live in.
