ABSTRACT

Programme Overview In 1993, the government of Tripoli undertook an environmental audit which led to a green strategy defining priorities and objectives for environmental action. This was followed by the formulation of a municipal action plan specifYing funding for priority areas. The audit and green strategy, which cost US$70,1lO0, were carried out within the framework of the Medcities decentralized cooperation network, of which the Tripoli Urban Area is a member. Funding for the audit and strategy was provided by the Commission of the European Communities (CEC) within the framework of the Med-Urbs programme.
