Local Agenda 21

At the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, Local Authorities world-wide were challenged to address global environmental concerns by taking actions locally, under community-led Local Agenda 21 (LA21) programmes. Since then, Woking residents have engaged with and pro-actively promoted environmental and sustainability issues in the Borough.  Read on for details of projects and initiatives that have been, and continue to be, undertaken.
