Extractions: ABOUT THE PROJECT Several years into the 21st century, the formerly socialist countries are still experiencing a profound social, political and economic transition. Communities with closing nuclear power plants, nuclear weapons facilities, and other nuclear issues face especially difficult environmental and socio-economic challenges. To help local governments and citizens find productive solutions to these difficulties, ECOLOGIA and its international partners launched the "Sustainable Development / Local Agenda 21 in Nuclear Regions" project in 1999. ECOLOGIA enables nuclear communities in Russia and Lithuania to take advantage of the opportunities while reducing the difficulties of this transition by creating and implementing local sustainable development plans. ECOLOGIA also trains citizen groups in effective public participation methods. This educated citizen participation leads to more informed decision making about a broad range of socio-economic and environmental issues. It also strengthens democracy on the local level. PROJECT GOALS Local Enable communities dependent on nuclear industries to create and implement local sustainable development plans using the principles of the international Agenda 21 agreement on sustainable development, created at the 1992 Earth Summit
