Ciudad Saludable

Ciudad Saludable is a non-profit association. Born in 2002 with a dream of building healthy and inclusive cities where everyone can live in harmony, justice and equal opportunities, Ciudad Saludable proposes an environmental citizenship and sustainable management model for climate change mitigation and adaptation from the inclusive recycling value chain. Its value proposition is the promotion of the articulation and participation of the state, companies and civil society in sustainable production and consumption systems through management, education and communication initiatives that influence public policies.

Its values are consistency, passion, commitment, transparency, inclusion, justice and respect. It creates, structures, plans and executes programmes and projects, based on the articulation and coordination of actors: governments, companies and civil society. It develops socio-environmental transformation models that affect public policies related to the integral and inclusive management of solid waste and environmental citizenship. Its mission is to contribute to improving the quality of life of the population by creating and sharing innovative and inclusive environmental management systems with a sustainable development approach. It influences organizational culture change by launching public and private initiatives focussed on the integral management of solid waste, eco-efficiency and environmental education.

It is active globally, with special interest in Latin America, Asia and Africa, in areas of social and economic vulnerability in urban, rural and traditional communities with native groups.
