What is agenda twenty one?

Agenda 21 is a non-binding action plan developed by the United Nations at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, aimed at promoting sustainable development globally. It outlines strategies for addressing environmental issues, social equity, and economic growth, encouraging local governments to implement sustainable practices. The agenda covers various sectors, including waste management, energy, and biodiversity, and emphasizes the importance of community participation and partnerships. While criticized by some as overreach, it serves as a framework for addressing global challenges in a collaborative manner.
