Sustainability
A sustainable future for all
We work for a development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, in order to achieve a dignified life for all within the planet’s limits and reconciling economic efficiency, social inclusion and environmental responsibility is at the essence of sustainable development.
We collaborate with public administrations, companies, organizations and associations for the development of initiatives aimed at sustainable development, environmental conservation and energy efficiency, moving towards an effective cooperation strategy, in which stakeholders participate to treat all aspects from the perspective of sustainability and implement the necessary measures.
At INFODEF we approach sustainability through an integral perspective, developing projects and initiatives that address the strategic challenges of the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.
PROGRAMMES
Interreg Europe
Interreg Europe helps regional and local governments across Europe to develop and deliver better policy. By creating an environment and opportunities for sharing solutions, we aim to ensure that government investment, innovation and implementation efforts all lead to integrated and sustainable impact for people and place.
Interreg Sudoe
The Interreg Sudoe Programme supports regional development in Southwest Europe financing transnational projects through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). The Programme promotes transnational cooperation to solve common problems in Southwest Europe, such as low investment in research and development, weak competitiveness of the small and medium-sized enterprises and exposure to climate change and environmental risks.
Interreg POCTEP
The Cross-Border Cooperation Program INTERREG Spain-Portugal 2014-2020 promotes the development of border areas between Spain and Portugal. This program makes it possible to take advantage of the existing extensive cooperation networks that have been developed since 1989 with the implementation of infrastructure projects, which have been progressively incorporated into other sectors such as tourism, social services, environment, technological innovation, health, Education or culture. The Trans-Border Space of Spain-Portugal is made up of 37 NUTS III belonging to both countries, ensuring the consistency and continuity of the areas established in the previous programming period.
Interreg MED
Partner States from 13 countries are working together in the transnational European Cooperation Programme for the Mediterranean area, The Interreg MED Programme 2014-2020. The transnational setup allows them to tackle challenges beyond national borders, such as the rise of low carbon economy, the protection of natural and cultural resources and the strengthening of innovation.
The main objective of the Interreg MED Programme is to promote sustainable growth in the Mediterranean area by fostering innovative concepts and practices and a reasonable use of resources and by supporting social integration through an integrated and territorially based cooperation approach.
