Green culture and the 2030 Agenda in the Municipal Development in Altotonga, Veracruz, Mexico

Abstract

This article's main objective is to analyze the conception of green culture as part of the actions proposed by the authorities of the municipality of Altotonga, Veracruz, (which finds itself in dire conditions) to fulfill the 2030 Agenda, specially analyzing the Municipal Plan of Development 2022-2025 that the city's authorities are putting forward. The theoretical approach comes from the analysis of the concept of culture, to define green culture. The methodology applied relates to the revision made by the Observatory of Cultural Politics of the Veracruz faculty of Anthropology, about cultural indicators found in the plan. As a complement of the work, our team traveled around the county town in June 2023, looking for the local population’s opinions on environmental focus. We conclude that despite there being a significant effort by the city's authorities, a bigger divulgation of the 2030 agenda is necessary to reach the population. We consider the progress of democratization relevant to the green culture of Altotonga
