The Social and Political Pact for Sustainability, established on 22 May, brings together representatives from economic sectors, universities, local administrations, political parties, and civil society organisations. Its main objective is to generate solid and actionable knowledge to guide public and private decision-making in favour of the archipelago’s economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
The final outcome of this participatory process will serve as the foundation for creating an integrated agenda for sustainability transition, paving the way for more balanced development that respects both the environment and the social needs of the Balearic Islands.
