The Aalborg Commitments are a set of shared commitments to be jointly implemented by Local Governments across Europe. They are primarily seeking to reinforce existing Local Agenda 21 processes and to generate the energy to move from agenda to action over the next 10 years. At the same time they are designed as a flexible tool that must be adjusted to local context as well as to existing and future planned actions.

The Aalborg Commitments were adopted by delegates to the June 2004 Aalborg+10 Conference and have been signed by hundreds of Local Governments. They support European Local Governments in their implementation of the Aalborg Charter agreed at the 1994 Aalborg Conference and set important policy guidelines for local sustainability. They are regarded as voluntary commitments and describe ten fields of action and 50 key activities and concrete actions for local sustainable development.

The Aalborg Commitments are available for download in several language versions on the Aalborg+10 website.
