The Algeciras Technological Campus Foundation and the University of Cadiz are organizing the XI Sustainable Development Meeting, focusing on 'Climate Action', on June 4th.

Algeciras will host the eleventh edition of the Sustainable Development Meeting, an event organized by the Algeciras Technological Campus Foundation (FCTA) and the University of Cadiz (UCA). The event, taking place on Thursday, June 4th, at the I+D+i Building of the Algeciras Technology Campus, will focus on Sustainable Development Goal number 13: 'Climate Action'.
The meeting, open to the general public, aims to foster reflection on the current status of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) established by the United Nations (UN) and the 2030 Agenda. It will showcase ongoing projects and research promoting sustainable development both locally and globally, culminating in an award for the best oral presentation on combating climate change.
As a new feature, the FCTA has launched the photography contest Mira Sostenible #fotografiandODS13, which seeks to visualize the social, environmental, and economic challenges of sustainable development through imagery. The best photographs will be awarded during the closing ceremony.
Registration for the event is free and open until June 1st. The organization is supported by the Bahía de Algeciras Port Authority (APBA) and funded by the Regional Ministry of University, Research and Innovation of the Regional Government of Andalusia.
The program will begin at 9:30 AM with attendee registration and the institutional inauguration at 10:00 AM. The keynote speech will be delivered by Mercedes Martín, a meteorologist and oceanographer specializing in climate change and sustainability, and an alumna of the UCA.
At 11:30 AM, a panel discussion titled SDG 13 Climate Challenges in the Strait of Gibraltar: Present and Future will take place, moderated by Mercedes Martín. Participants will include Gerardo Landaluce Calleja (president of the APBA), Pilar Cañete Pérez (secretary general of the Association of Large Industries of Campo de Gibraltar), Pablo Antonio Fernández Sánchez (Professor of Public International Law at the University of Seville), and Jesús Verdú Baeza (director general of the Bahía de Algeciras Campus).
From 12:30 PM onwards, presentations of communications and projects related to SDG 13 will be held, introduced by Dolores Coello, Director of Environmental Commitment Secretariat at the UCA. The meeting will conclude at 1:30 PM with the award ceremony, including the Best Communication award of 500 euros, and the closing remarks.
The Mira Sostenible #fotografiandODS13 photography contest will offer two prizes of 400 and 200 euros, along with an honorable mention of 100 euros.
