The goal of SAIL ( Spreading Awareness to foster the Impalementation of Local Agenda 21 around the Baltic Sea) was to facilitate the development of Local Agenda 21 plans and processes in communities in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Russia. SAIL produced informational materials on LA21 in all these languages, which will faciliate LA21 preparations as well as help generate public interest. Also several events and meetings were organised in the target countries for exchange of experience and for presenting these materials. These materials are now available to all who are interested in LA21.

SAIL was a common initiative of the Union of the Baltic Cities (UBC), the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), the Environmental Centre for Administration and Technology (ECAT - Lithuania), and the cities of Lahti, St. Petersburg, Tartu and Jurmala.

The City of Lahti acted as a Lead City, and the project was a contribution to the Baltic Local Agenda 21 Forum Network (BLA21F). SAIL was funded by the EU PHARE and TACIS sponsored Baltic Sea Project Facility (BSPF) and through contributions from each of the project partners.  The project ended in spring 2000.
