Fostering sustainable development at the local-level through international collaboration
Sustainable development in a quickly urbanizing and resource-constrained world is more essential now than ever before. There is a chance to lock-in high performance for decades to come as vast new construction efforts are pursued throughout China and around the world. Local governments play a critical leadership role in planning and implementing sustainable development measures, but they may face capacity, resource, and stakeholder buy-in constraints. A comprehensive and well-informed approach is the key to unlocking viable long-term solutions that enhance the quality of life for their constituents. International cooperation in this endeavor can be incredibly transformative, as peers are able to share innovative best practices and information. Development priorities often vary and solutions have to be tailored for their unique context, but there are recurrent winning concepts that can be readily parlayed from one locality to another. This paper explores how the International City/County Management Association and China University of Political Science and Law are leveraging the U.S.-China EcoPartnerships program to amplify sustainable development at the local-level in a number of locations throughout both countries.
