Cognicert ISO 37101 Sustainable Development Lead Implementer Course

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:

managing sustainability and fostering smartness and resilience in communities, while taking into account the territorial boundaries to which it applies;
improving the contribution of communities to sustainable development outcomes;
assessing the performance of communities in progressing towards sustainable development outcomes and the level of smartness and of resilience that they have achieved;
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. A community that chooses to establish the organizational framework by itself is considered to constitute an organization as defined in ISO 37101:2016. ISO 37101:2016 is applicable to communities of all sizes, structures and types, in developed or developing countries, at local, regional or national levels, and in defined urban or rural areas, at their respective level of responsibility. ISO 37122: Sustainable Development of Communities – Indicators for Smart Cities will complement ISO 37120 and establish indicators and indicator definitions and methodologies to measure and consider aspects and practices that dramatically increase the pace at which cities improve their social, economic and environmental sustainability outcomes, responding to challenges such as climate change, rapid population growth, and political and economic instability by fundamentally improving how cities engage society, apply collaborative leadership methods, work across disciplines and city systems, and use data information and modern technologies. This International Standard when used in conjunction with ISO 37120 will help cities to identify indicators for applying city management systems such as ISO 37101 and to implement Smart City policies to:

— Provide better services for citizens;
— Provide a better life environment where smart policies, practices and technology are put to the service of citizens;
— Achieve their sustainability and environmental goals in a more innovative way;
— Identify the need for smart infrastructure;
— Facilitate innovation and growth; and
— Build a dynamic and innovative economy ready for the challenges of tomorrow.
