uniting all concerned actors (citizens, non-profit organizations,
companies, farmers, administrations…) and encouraging their involvement
through inclusive cooperation mechanisms (surveys, participative

transversal approach of sustainable development, comprising the fight against climate change,
the protection of environments, resources and biodiversity, welfare of all
human beings, social cohesion,

and policies (Local Development Frameworks, Regional Spatial Strategies,
Local Development Schemes, Statements of Community Involvement, and any
