Abstract: The evaluation of achieving sustainable development in the town of Maribor. In 2001, the Municipality of Maribor already prepared a Report on the stateof environment with the goal to actively approach the realisation of the Local agenda 21 for Maribor. Conditions of that time didn’t allow a realisation of all planned objectives and measures, therefore the Municipality of Maribor decided to once more prepare the Municipal Environmental Protection Programme, based on the Reports on the state of environment in the Municipality of Maribor. For the period 2008 – 2015 the EPP included areas of integrated waste management, the system of safe healthy drinking water supply, air protection, protection against noise and climate change, sustainable traffic development, preserving of natural values and green areas and comprehensive environmental informing and awareness-raising. Desiring to improve the implementation of set objectives and to plan objectives and measures more realistically, in the preparation of the new EPP for the period after 2015, the emphasis in the paper is on the research of the connection of measures to achieve the objectives.This paper shows the evaluation methodology and the objective and measure achievements of the Municipality of Maribor that are recorded in the Municipal environmental protection programme for the period 2008 to 2013.
