1.D.17) Establish mechanisms for state accountability and consistency of Sustainable Development Principles

It is essential that the state track and report on performance and progress in coordinating its policies and investments with the Sustainable Development Principles.  This provides for evaluation of those policies and investments, the identification of approaches that are more and less successful, modifications as needed to either improve efficacy or to account for progress made, and the means for the public to hold their government accountable for acting in accordance with its commitments. 

17.a     The Governor should establish an annual assessment of state program consistency with the Sustainable Development Principles

17.b    MAPC should work within the Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance to regularly evaluate the state’s “sustainable development performance”
