National Plan for the Environment and for Sustainable Development
The National Environmental Plan for Sustainable Development is a public policy composed of guidelines and commitments adopted by the Uruguayan government upon agreements achieved through deliberative and participatory process. The basic text of the National Plan was prepared by the authorities of the Ministry of Housing and Land Management within the framework of the National Environmental System (span. SNA), and then submitted to territorial discussion with civil society organizations, educational communities, and departmental governments. The University of the Republic (span. UdelaR) also collaborated in the execution of the participatory process. Later, the contributions received in the meetings were systematized and incorporated into the base document for consideration by the Technical Advisory Commission for Environmental Protection (span. COTAMA) and the National Environmental Cabinet (span. GNA). The final text was approved by the GNA in December 2018 and subsequently published by Decree No. 222/019, of August 5, 2019.
