Green Agenda is a participatory method for developing and implementing local sustainable development strategies and plans with active involvement of the different sectors in the local community where the process is conducted.
The Green Agenda document includes an analysis as well as a strategic plan, an action plan and a monitoring plan. This document is adopted by the local authorities and implemented by the local community. One of the characteristics of the Green Agenda method however is that it focuses not only on the creation of a document, but also on the actual implementation of the ideas laid down in the document: pilot projects - small projects implementing part of the Green Agenda plans
The idea of the implementation of the Green Agenda originates from the Local Agenda 21, introduced globally at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
