Initial Survey – Municipal Sustainability Management

This assessment is based on a tool developed by ICLEI called QuickCheck N. As a self-assessment tool for cities, municipalities and counties with more than 5,000 inhabitants, it has been structured to give municipalities an initial impression of the strengths and weaknesses of their municipal sustainability management. The core of the tool is a questionnaire consisting of multiple-choice questions.

  • The evaluation takes place through comparisons and links between the answers
  • This provides the municipality with information about the relevance and the interaction of the elements of its municipal sustainability management.
