SUSTAINABILITY

Together Gibraltar has entered the political arena for the long-term benefit of Gibraltar, not short-term gain. We are very clear that Gibraltar and Gibraltarians, present and future, will always come before party politics. It is our responsibility to ensure that every decision we make is for the long term good of Gibraltar whether in relation to our construction, economy, environment, education or public health. We are not about handing out gifts to gain votes but about implementing sustainable policies that will ensure Gibraltar can survive and thrive for generations to come.

We will ensure the following basic principles of sustainability across government bodies:

• Commitments to environmental sustainability are firmly adhered to, especially carbon neutrality

• Energy efficiency is prioritised seeking substantial and rapid development of our renewable energy mix

• Impact on quality of life of all policies is analysed and observed.

• Social impact, with a focus on reducing inequality, is incorporated into decision making.

• Value for Money for the taxpayer is guaranteed and products/materials are ethically and sustainably sourced.

• Maintenance is budgeted for all infrastructure.

• Long term economic planning is applied delivering a broader and greener economy
