ISO 37101 Management system for sustainable development.

ISO 37101:2016 establishes requirements for a management system for sustainable development in communities, including cities, using a holistic approach, with a view to ensuring consistency with the sustainable development policy of communities. The intended outcomes of a management system for sustainable development in communities include: (a) managing sustainability and fostering smartness and resilience in communities, while taking into account the territorial boundaries to which it applies; (b) improving the contribution of communities to sustainable development outcomes; (c) assessing the performance of communities in progressing towards sustainable development outcomes and the level of smartness and of resilience that they have achieved; (d) fulfilling compliance obligations. ISO 37101:2016 is intended to help communities become more resilient, smart and sustainable, through the implementation of strategies, programmes, projects, plans and services, and demonstrate and communicate their achievements. ISO 37101:2016 is intended to be implemented by an organization designated by a community to establish the organizational framework and to provide the resources necessary to support the management of environmental, economic and social performance outcomes.
