During a Q&A event held by the Labour Party in Gozo on Saturday evening, Prime Minister Robert Abela discussed a number of plans relating to the sister island’s environment sustainability.
Abela highlighted that a total of €3.3 billion would be spent on projects over a period of five years, creating a better Gozo where projects ‘are costed and planned out’. Amongst other objectives, the Labour Party leader expressed his goals to minimise traffic in Rabat, prioritise green plans and ensure that Gozo gets to climate neutrality “even before Malta”.
Abela went on to state that the island will get more electric ships and an air strip, which may ultimately get Gozo closer to the goal of climate neutrality, telling the Gozitan people that they have his word that Labour will be doing all of the environmental projects.
He called for the creation of more open spaces, rather than the building of properties, going on to shine a light on other Gozo projects such as a further push for the Citadella to be recognised on the UNESCO World Heritage list and the conversion of private residences and gardens into public spaces.
What do you make of these projects?
