Borghetto within the Coalition of Mayors for Mission Ocean

The Mayor and the Municipal Council of Borghetto Santo Spirito fully share the objectives and approach of the EU Mission Restore our Oceans and Waters. In order to best contribute to it, the city's development plan of the years to come will be aligned with the Mission Implementation Plan resulting in a series of project and initiatives and in the Borghetto Santo Spirito Strategic Mission Deployment Agenda called “Mission Borghetto Santo Spirito”.
The rationale of Mission Borghetto Santo Spirito is to contribute to the Strategic Mission Deployment Agenda of the “Coalition of Mayors for the Mission” aiming at establishing synergies with interested Municipalities with whom acting together leaving “no one behind”. More specifically it encompasses several actions to be carried out jointly with the Coalition (which SDG4MED is the secretariat of), as follows:
a) deploy solutions to protect, restore and depollute marine and freshwater ecosystems
b) promote development and sharing of knowledge and good practices on sustainable and carbon-neutral blue economy
c) involve citizens, students and private stakeholders.
From a practical viewpoint, the Municipality of Borghetto Santo Spirito will:
1. identify and map its territorial needs and opportunities
2. co-design, together with citizens and stakeholders, its local action plan
3. tune its action plan with that of the member municipalities of the Coalition resulting in the Coalition Shared Action Plan
4. deploy the Action Plan
5. keep the Mission periodically informed via the Coalition spokeperson and through the LightMed CSA.
It is noted that Mission Borghetto Santo Spirito will specially focus on system of urban piers enabling a “marine coastal” sustainable local mobility for citizens as well the easing the zero emissions’ access of tourists to the coastal environmental, historical, and archaeological beauties This will be achieved thanks to mooring points, headed on pier structures on their turn connected to paths/walking streets leading either to the towns (historical centres) or to local attractions. This would allow pleasure boats to moor and their passengers to walk walk in and enjoy the area with a near to zero environmental impact
