Environmental governance has been pivotal to achieve sustainable development. A great challenge among the cities all over the world is how to maintain a sound and healthful ecology amidst urbanization.

Strategies for pollution prevention and product stewardship are generally present in the City, however there are still to be done and procured in terms of clean technology strategies.
