Green Deal Malta

Short description of the action

The Green Deal Malta platform was launched by Ewropa Services Consultancy Limited in 2021, with the aim of contributing to making Malta more environmentally friendly. This web-based initiative (greendeal.mt) provides a centralised one-stop forum for sustainability matters in Malta. It is a collaborative platform with the aim of growing a community of like-minded people all passionate about making sustainability a reality for Malta. This is a platform where people who care about making Malta a more sustainable place can come together and share ideas.

Green Deal Malta showcases the sustainability work being done by various stakeholders in Malta. It also features thought leaders and community members willing to share their experiences, ideas, tips, and solutions. The platform also hosts and showcases Malta's leading stakeholders in implementing sustainable practices.

The idea of this platform came to us when we realised that there is a significant amount of work which is being done in Malta in relation to sustainability and the implementation of a ‘Green Deal’ for Malta, however, it is close to impossible to follow and keep tabs on all of this work and the myriad of stakeholders involved.

The Green Deal Malta platform was created to:
1. Showcase the work being done by all stakeholders, such as the Ministries, public departments, University faculties, NGOs, associations, private sector entities,
and individuals amongst others;
2. Introduce local and international talent and professionals in the field of Green Deal and sustainability;
3. Identify and publicise the actions of those individuals, companies or entities who have actually implemented a robust Environment, Social, and
Governance or green strategy in their daily work or business.

According to the Commission, the main sustainability challenge for us Europeans is to decouple our economic development from environmental degradation and overcome the remaining social inequalities. Thus, the European Green Deal initiative was launched, which will be our main focus for the next decade.

In order to achieve the objectives of this project, several measures have been put in place:
• The development of the website included a clear and accessible layout which makes it easy to navigate through the different parts of the website.
• The web portal has been set up in order to provide the necessary information for potential investors, both private and public.
• contributions will be published on the site, providing information about climate action issues, as well as marketing materials for raising awareness.
• Issue awareness will be carried out through social media posts about articles, contributions and raising awareness about climate action issues.
• Meetings with various stakeholders (including authorities offering/managing funds etc) will be held continuously.

Green Deal Malta platform aims to raise awareness about environmental issues (including sustainability) in Malta, improve outreach and awareness of numerous funding opportunities available to clients, and assist clients in accessing funds. The platform also seeks to share ideas, thoughts, best practices, experiences and projects with the aim of centralising all matters Green Deal and sustainability-related in Malta. Our aim is to spread awareness about how individuals and organisations can become more sustainable, and how they can help in the fight against climate change.
