The Gozo Regional Development Authority said that it is seeking input from stakeholders and the general public on Gozo’s Climate Neutrality Plan.

The GRDA said that as part of the national effort to achieve climate neutrality, the Government has declared its intention to make Gozo the first climate neutral region of the Maltese islands.

The Authority added that “this political commitment is outlined in the electoral manifesto, and is in line with Malta’s Low Carbon Development Strategy, which states that the island of Gozo can become carbon neutral before Malta’s 2050 target.”

In this regard, the GRDA said it has commissioned a Climate Neutral Plan for Gozo. The plan has three main objectives:

To establish a viable target date for achieving climate neutrality and to develop two alternative scenarios based on a detailed energy baseline.

To identify the actions and measures required to reach the climate neutrality target, accompanied by an implementation and financing plan.

To ensure broad stakeholder involvement, including government ministries and entities, the private sector, NGOs, and the public.
