Aljustrel Mining Park recognized as a relevant sustainable development project

The ODS Local platform, coordinated by the National Council for Environment and Sustainable Development, recognized the Aljustrel Mining Park as a relevant sustainable development project at national level.

According to ODS Local, «the Aljustrel Mining Park meets all the criteria and has high relevance and positive impact on the territory».

«What stands out is the fact that the Aljustrel Mining Park is located in an old mining operation, which with this project it was possible to environmentally rehabilitate, but also its function of protecting, conserving, disseminating and promoting the existing mining and geological heritage», he says the municipality, highlighting that this way it is possible for the project to be visited by an interested public and that it also meets leisure, educational and research objectives.

The Local SDG Platform, which recognized this project as the responsibility of the Aljustrel City Council, monitors the evolution of municipalities in relation to the various targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), proposed by the United Nations, namely through progress indicators constructed from information from national databases and from the municipalities themselves.
