Examples are the network of regional governments for sustainable development [http://www.nrg4SD.net] and the ICLEI-Local governments for sustainability [http://www.iclei.org]. These organizations use the method of open coordination to share policy best practice and provide assistance and counsel to partners on issues related to environmental development following the UN Millennium Agenda.
