Fewer cars, more exercise, less early school-leavers and increased investment on local cultural & creative sectors are among the 42 targets listed in Malta’s Sustainable Development Strategy for 2050.

The document, which was launched by Environment & Energy Minister Miriam Dalli, has been released for public consultation until February 9th 2023 and presents five strategic goals to make Malta more sustainable.

Targets include the introduction of 65,000 electric vehicles by 2030, increasing ICT graduates by 10%, reducing the fraction of the population which doesn’t exercise to below 56% and setting up a new mental health facility. The document also sets a goal reducing the amount of early school-leavers (ages 18-24) by at least 2 per cent.

The document sets five strategic goals; transitioning towards a climate-neutral economy, preserving sustainable urban development and cultural heritage, ensuring health & wellbeing for all, accelerating digital transformation, intelligent mobility & connectivity and achieving social justice & prosperity for all.

FIFA President calls Qatar World Cup group stage the 'best ever'
Dec 9 2022 Share

The Qatar World Cup has been a journey of shocking moments, controversial situations and interesting characters. However, beyond the showmanship and social media, FIFA President Gianni Infantino has called the opening stages of the global tournament as the ‘best ever’.

The eight group-stage matches saw record-breaking attendances and television ratings from fans around the world, with Infantino highlighting the fans’ passion towards the competition.

“I have seen all the matches, indeed, and put very simply and very clearly, this has been the best group stage of a FIFA World Cup ever. So, it’s very promising for the remainder of the FIFA World Cup,” he stated.

Infantino went on to argue that the concept of ‘small’ and ‘big’ teams is a thing of the past, with a very equal level seen from the participation of national teams from all continents going to the World Cup’s knock-out phase for the first time ever.
