Abstract
The Working paper collects different reports and results of an ongoing European research project promoted by the Leonardo da Vinci- programme of the EU: Train to Local Agenda 21 Implementation. The project is to develop and test training products (courses and didactic materials) targeting the various professionals involved in LA21- processes.

The analysis starts with some basic information of the development in Switzerland: How did the Swiss political system and other actors deal with the concept of sustain-able development?
The second part is an analysis of the situation within the Canton of Zurich. The empiri-cal analysis concentrates in a first step on needs and offers of LA21- actors regarding (further) education.
In a next step five concrete LA21- processes has been analysed to work out a kind of 'typical structure' which can help to identify basic competencies which can be used from a lot of different actors.
