Guide for Local Authorities

The Climate Change Task Force published a Guide for local authorities to help local public decision makers identify the impact of their investments in GHG emission prevention; during 1999. Regional authorities prepared multi-year contracts (2000-2006) with the State; these "contrats de plan" signed by the State and elected regional authorities are implemented in all sectors of regional responsibilities (land and urban planning, transport, community services).The governments objective is to promote the prevention of GHG emissions through investments in these contracts.
