In the region where you live, do local government authorities, local government unit authorities in the framework of the local government economy carried out take into account the implementation of the goals of sustainable development, implement the process of green transformation of the economy, take pro-environmental, pro-climate, pro-ecological measures?
Local government units carry out local or regional socio-economic policies. The said local or regional socio-economic policy plays an important role in the context of the government and central institutions of state power conducting socio-economic policies implemented on a national scale. Local authorities have opportunities to implement new development concepts, which are an important factor in activating local economic development, including the development of companies and enterprises operating in the region and their level of innovation, the development of cooperation with other local operating institutions. In addition, the local government has the opportunity to take into account the needs of the local community so that socio-economic, as well as cultural, environmental, climate policy, etc. can be more fully implemented to meet the expectations of citizens. As a result, local governments can also be pioneering entities, innovators implementing into locally or regionally implemented socio-economic policies also new environmental and climate policy goals, including the goals of sustainable development, the goals of green transformation of the economy, etc., which are extremely important for citizens currently living in the municipalities and future generations of citizens. As a result, these pro-environmental, pro-climate and therefore viable pro-social goals are finally being implemented in some local government units in Poland. For example, the concept of urban development, which has been developing since the beginning of the country's systemic and economic transformation, but also earlier, since the time of real socialism functioning until 1989, carried out within the framework of the so-called "betonosis", is being replaced by a pro-environmental and pro-climate strategy for the development of green areas in cities, areas of urban parks, the development of urban flower meadows and so on. But unfortunately, still this pro-climate, pro-environmental, pro-ecological and thus realistically pro-social trend is developing too slowly and too little in relation to needs.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
In the region where you live, do the local government authorities, the authorities of the local self-government unit within the framework of the local self-government economy carried out take into account the implementation of the goals of sustainable development, implement the process of green transformation of the economy, take pro-environmental, pro-climate, pro-ecological measures?
In the region where you live, do local governments implement the goals of sustainable development and green transformation of the economy?
And what is your opinion about it?
What is your opinion on this issue?
Please answer,
I invite everyone to join the discussion,
Thank you very much,
Best wishes,

Local Governments in my jurisdiction vigorously pursue the goals of sustainable development; particularly those in the southern part of the country where NGOs and other forms of businesses thrive. The major hindrance for most local governments is the paucity of funds.
In India structure of local government is very weak and fragile, for the reason ULBs invariably lack in financial resources, inadequate quality manpower and in majority of cases are run as annexure and subordinate to state Government. Despite constitutional provision of empowering ULBs as governments in its own rights, most of the local governments remains laggard in promoting sustainable development. In majority of cases ULBs lack quality leadership and lack willingness to promote sustainable development.Urban development at local level is primarily looked after by state level development authorities which remain independent of the local bodies
See if thoughts from Norway might be relevant https://doi.org/10.1080/00207233.2011.587648 along with small island countries https://doi.org/10.1080/13549839.2010.498812
Yes, there is some efforts here and there but challenges are also there dragging the progress towards the desired end. The tree plantation and efforts to reduce, reuse, and or recycle dry waste is underway in most of the main cities in my country. Some town in the central region of the country have established safe waste disposal structures and using it with some limitations.
@Dariusz.Yes in our region Ladakh has shown significant interest in sustainable development. The region has been focusing on initiatives like solar energy adoption due to its abundant sunlight, promoting eco-tourism, and implementing measures to preserve the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. Ladakh's government has been keen on balancing economic growth with environmental conservation, emphasizing sustainable practices in various sectors.
Dear Prof. Prokopowicz!
In Finland they publicly support these kinds of initiatives, but in reality when facing dooming future scenario of military conflict with Russia, the emphasis is not on green or sustainable perspectives..:
