Abstract
Local authorities are key players in the local economy. As the government level
closest to the citizen, they have an important influence on the environmental habits of
the general public and can provide a major contribution to the implementation of the
principles of sustainable development at local level.
Italy confirms its first place among Member States for the number of registrations in
the Public Administration sector followed by Spain. However in the field of Local
Authorities, in the last three years the number of Registrations has decreased; also
in the distribution by sectors the public administration switched to the second place.
Analyzing the total number of EMAS Registrations, the proposed indicator highlights
the concentration of sites in the cities indicated by the Report. Among the most
significant experiences we underline the Cities of Ravenna, Udine and the Province of
Siena.
