Sori within the Coalition of Mayors for Mission Ocean

Short description of the action

The Mayor and the Municipal Council of Sori 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 a Deployment Agenda called “Mission Sori”.
The rationale 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 Sori 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 should be noted that Mission Sori will focus on:
- cleaning of riverbeds
- construction of drainage channels to achieve, when flooded, greater efficiency
- reduction of water losses through digitalised monitoring and control of the water distribution network allowing early diagnosis and rapid repair of losses
- redevelopment/restoration of old aqueducts in our area
