The Ministry for Energy, the Environment and the Regeneration of the Grand Harbour organised the second edition of the Sustainable Development Action Awards, recognising initiatives and projects that promote sustainable development in Malta.
The Directorate for Sustainable Development runs the awards, which recognise the contributions of individuals, voluntary organisations, public entities, journalists, young people, schools, academics and businesses to Malta’s economic, social and environmental sustainability.
Minister Miriam Dalli said that “sustainable development is an investment in the quality of life of today and of future generations.” She said the awards encourage more initiatives and collaboration across sectors.
Director General for Sustainable Development Francine Pace Caruana said the second edition builds on last year’s success and brings attention to projects that make a tangible contribution to sustainable development goals.
The Ministry for Local Government and Public Works, the Ministry for Education and Sport, the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA), Xjenza Malta and Aġenzija Żgħażagħ supported the awards.
