Evaluation of LA21• Current situation:1. Resources (economic / staff)• without personal, and the personal of the Envieronment or Local
development Area don´t know it or they don´t have time for it. • without own budget. Any action with own resources.
2. Institutional support• it isn´t between the priorities of the local governments
3. Positives experiences (participation/ results)• Last actions: The Covenant of Mayors, PAES-Sustainable Energy Action Plans• No participative process (afraid for it?) • Any public information
