Objetivos de desarrollo Sostenible (ODS)

Action plan promoted by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda, which sets out 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with 169 integrated targets covering the economic, social and environmental spheres. In this way, the international community is tackling a new challenge to achieve food security, guarantee quality education, ensure access to water and energy, take measures against climate change and, in general, achieve global economic development that is sustainable and respectful of the planet and its resources, among other points.

FYCMA is firmly committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals promoted by the United Nations in the 2030 Agenda to promote development that guarantees a more sustainable, clean, equal and accessible environment, implementing procedures and tools based on these global principles in its daily activities.

The Board of Trustees of the CIEDES Foundation acts as the guarantor of the city’s strategic planning, creating synergies with the SDGs and thus setting out the lines of the diagnosis and the Malaga 2030 SDG Action Plan.
