The long periods of droughts, replacement of high-water consumption crops with local plants of dry crops such as almond, carob, olive trees, providing water for the expanding domestic and tourism sectors, increased water consumption for agricultural production, groundwater pollution from the use of fertilizers (particularly nitrates), the overdosing of farming, pesticides and large volumes of animal manures that could be turned from a problem and nuisance into biogas and fertilizer potential are some of the ongoing challenges, while working towards a more sustainable model.
Let’s work together for an island-wide approach identifying opportunities for reuse and identifying and assessing water storage and conveyance alternatives.
The development of a model that is sustainable for this and future generations offers the best way forward to create a better world, by ending poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity. Sustainable development and climate action are linked – and both are essential to the present and the future of the humankind. It is, therefore, vital that the international community meet the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There are 17 SDGs which have targets to be achieved by 2030. UN is calling countries - developed and developing - for a global partnership. As the Technical Committee on Environment, we would like to support this call and connect you with the relevant SDGs information below. With just one click you can identify all17 SDG’s and to learn more about their goals and targets.
