The selected Commitments
The evaluation activities focused on 3 of the 10 Aalborg Commitments:
4. Responsible consumption and lifestyle choices;
5. Urban Planning and Design;
6. Better mobility, less traffic
In order to assess the environmental sustainability projects, the involved municipalities had to fill out an evaluation form for each project, concerning the goals of the project, the realised actions and the achieved results, measured by specific indicators.

The results of the baseline review
On the whole, 106 environmental sustainability projects, implemented by municipalities and directly linked to the three general commitments, were assessed.
Many projects regarded waste management, energy efficiency, sustainable consumption and green purchasing, urban requalification, sustainable planning and the promotion of sustainable mobility initiatives.
Moreover, many sensibilization actions were implemented, through the direct involvement of schools and local community.
Each project and initiative aimed at pursuing sustainable development by means of concrete and coordinated actions and citizens’ participation.
