The waste and its correct treatment is one of the key pieces for the sustainable development of the cities of the 21st century.
The speakers of the Debate Table devoted to waste and innovation are the following:
- Rosa Trigo, Technical and Innovation Director of Ecoembes.
- Manuel Domínguez, General Secretary of Repacar.
- Laura García, Technical Director of Operations of Ecovidrio.
- Buenaventura González, President of Sigaus.
- Gabriel Leal, Secretary General of Signus.
- José David Moreno, National Promoter of Humana Fundación Pueblo para Pueblo.
The role of the new urban economies
The city for citizens will be the main axis on which all the themes will revolve, given that this approach has always been the distinguishing feature of the Forum of the Cities of Madrid. For this reason, part of the program will be devoted to discussing the so-called 'New Urban Economies': from the collaborative, on which a Reflection Group has already been created, to the circular through the green, blue, common good economies , etc.
This vision of the city and the role of citizens will be addressed from the perspective of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. Beyond Objective 11 dedicated specifically to cities, there are others of the SDGs intimately related to urban environments: climate change, water, clean energy, responsible consumption or reduction of inequality are just some examples.
The Forum of the Cities is part of the Forum Environment and Sustainability FSMS IFEMA Feria de Madrid, which also includes the International Fair of Urbanism and Environment, TECMA or the Hall of Recovery and Recycling, SRR.
