Our project LIFE EGGSHELLENCE, which we coordinate, financed by the LIFE 2014-2020 Environment and Climate Action Programme of the European Union (REF.: LIFE19 ENV/ES/000121) has won, together with 16 other projects chosen among 506 nominations, the prestigious Go!ODS Awards in its IV edition held yesterday, 22nd February, in Madrid, in the Rafael del Pino Auditorium.
Specifically, LIFE EGGSHELLENCE has been awarded with the Go!ODS recognition in the category ODS 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, since according to the ONU, and among other aspects, with the increasing population growth worldwide, it is necessary to build more infrastructures and in a more sustainable way to leave no one behind while reducing the impact on the environment. To this end, it is essential to create new industries to cope with the growing demand for these services and to guarantee more jobs. On the other hand, technological advances and research and innovation are also essential to find permanent solutions to economic and environmental challenges.
The organizations behind these awards are the United Nations Global Compact Spain and the Rafael del Pino Foundation. The Go!ODS initiative aims to recognise the innovative Spanish projects that make the greatest contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These global goals, approved on 25 September 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly, establish specific targets to be achieved in the coming years to ensure the prosperity of society as part of a new sustainable development agenda.
