"<< Background >>Thanks to the execution of the ""Green Cities of Youth"" project, it will contribute to achieving several of the objectives set in the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, specifically:Obj.7-Affordable and non-polluting energy: The climate alert raised by the scientific community has made, in the 2020-2050 horizon, CO2 emissions become the main vector of transformation of the energy sector.Obj.11-Sustainable cities and communities: Our vulnerability to climate change (CC) must make us work on risk mitigation and adaptation to it. The priorities for environmental action in this area are to reduce the negative impact of cities, paying special attention to air quality and waste management.Obj.12-Responsible production and consumption: Promote the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources, reduce the generation of waste and food waste, and promote the environmentally sound management of chemical products.Obj.13-Climate action: The fight against CC, both reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to CC, is a priority for SpainObj.15-Terrestrial ecosystems: Promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, the sustainable management of forest areas, combat desertification, stop and reverse land degradation and halt the loss of biological diversity.During the duration of our project and once its financing is completed, the partner entities will work to contribute our grain of sand to the achievement of the 5 objectives set. This will be done through education, training, exchange of good practices and inclusion of young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, since future generations will have to take charge of protecting the environment.If we rely on the numerous headlines that have made the news lately, warning about the great environmental problems that we face, we see that it is of vital importance for our generation and future generations, to tackle this problem urgently and very quickly. One of the most alarming news is the declaration of the climate emergency by the European Union, 28 / Nov / 2019 ""News of the European Parliament"", the polls reflect a growing concern in Spanish society for environmental issues: «We are in the climax for change ”, says the former director of the European Environment Agency, for which it is necessary to develop small but significant projects that are based on social and sustainability practices.Many cities join the challenge of achieving a healthy population.<< Objectives >>GENERAL OBJECTIVE:- Empower young people, especially those with fewer opportunities, through their involvement in the process of environmental improvement in their localities, using environmental awareness as a tool for integrating this group.SPECIFIC:- Facilitate the conversion of European towns and / or neighborhoods of less than 15,000 inhabitants into sustainable cities, involving local youth in the process of change- Make citizens aware of the importance of individual effort for global change.- Implement the measures resulting from the investigation in the town of Miguelturra, using it as a pilot municipality for our project and involving the political group and society.<< Implementation >>A methodological guide will be developed to facilitate the ecological transformation of towns or neighborhoods with less than 15,000 inhabitants anywhere in the European Union, including young people in the process.To do this, preparation, training, awareness-raising and implementation activities will be carried out in the three partner towns, especially in the town of Miguelturra, whose government team is committed to implementing the measures that arise from this project within a period of time of 4 years.<< Results >>Our project will have positive results of immediate effect (that is, tangible, visible and verifiable during its execution and after its completion) in the participating organizations and their locations (especially in the pilot location, where the proposed measures for the creation of of our intellectual result), in the young people with and without fewer opportunities who will be involved in the development of the proposed activities and in the people directly and indirectly involved in the organized activities and in the results obtained through them.It will benefit the development, transfer and / or application of innovative practices at the organizational, local, regional, national and international levels.Thanks to the multiplier events, it will be possible to disseminate the results and methodologies worked on in the project.
