Coordination mechanisms/governance structure
Saltillo is the most important urban nucleus in the southeast region of Coahuila. The municipality has grown rapidly during the last decades, as a result of an economic expansion that has turned the region into the concentration of the most important automotive industry in the country.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe vertiginous urbanization has brought with it a growing deterioration and destruction of our natural areas, reduction of the recharge surface of aquifers, atmospheric pollution, inadequate disposal of solid waste and polluting discharges in streams and greater vulnerability to natural phenomena that worsen. with the new climatic trends.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe only effective way to contribute to improving the environment of Saltillo is to change, as individuals, families, companies, educational communities and institutions, the habits and daily practices that damage our habitat.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nFor this reason, the Saltillo Environmental Agenda project arises from the interest and commitment that the state government and the municipal public administration have to care for and preserve the environment, which they reflect within their governing plans.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nIn the State Development Plan of Coahuila de Zaragoza 2017-2023, in the third axis, Sustainable Economic Development, in the specific objective 3.10 to ensure the right of Coahuila residents to a sustainable environment.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nOn the other hand, the Municipal Urban Development Plan Saltillo 2019-2021 contemplates in its Axis 6 the preservation of the environment. Specific objective 6. Promote public policies and work programs, with citizen participation, that contribute to the protection of the environment, in particular the natural areas of the municipality with high ecological value, as a basis for the sustainability of urban development.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nIn this way, the Saltillo Environmental Agenda is aligned with the aforementioned plans, and in turn contributes to the fulfillment of the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\nThe Saltillo Environmental Agenda focuses on five axes:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n1. Care and responsible consumption of water. (SDG 6)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n2. Conservation and restoration of natural areas. (SDG 15)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n3. Monitoring and control of air quality. (SDG 11)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n4. Reduction and separation of solid waste. (SDG 11)\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\r\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\n5.
