Abstract
This paper explores the implementation of co-management strategies and municipal governance in the context of sustainable development, using 20 municipalities from the state of Michoacán, Mexico, as a case study. It analyzes the main challenges that municipalities face in mainstreaming sustainability as a public policy and integrating the vision of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their municipal development plans (MDPs). Through a qualitative methodology, it identifies the structural, regulatory, and citizen participation barriers that limit the effective adoption of these policies and proposes a participatory framework to evaluate and strengthen local governance, highlighting the creation of Citizen Committees for the Evaluation of Municipal Sustainability (CCESuM). The results emphasize the importance of establishing a solid normative foundation, an ethical framework of action based on principles and values, and the mainstreaming of the 2030 Agenda in local planning to achieve inclusive and effective sustainable development. This work emphasizes the need for a co-management procedure that empowers citizens and reinforces municipal governance around sustainability.
