In this context, the private sector, together with local public administrations and civil society, are key and have many opportunities for the development of more sustainable and resilient cities in social, environmental and economic terms, thus contributing to the achievement of SDG 11.

Forética's Sustainable Cities 2030 initiative is the business platform of reference whose ambition is to promote the contribution of the private sector and public-private collaboration for the development of sustainable cities in Spain.

Emphasize the importance of public-private collaboration and partnerships as fundamental levers, in line with SDG 17, to achieve the urban sustainability goals.

La iniciativa encara esta tercera edición con el propósito de seguir comprendiendo la contribución de las empresas a la descarbonización de las ciudades, centrándose en la transición energética. En años anteriores hemos trabajado en las claves para lograr un desarrollo urbano sostenible y, en concreto, ciudades climáticamente neutras, profundizando en asuntos tan relevantes como la movilidad y la construcción sostenibles.

Siguiendo este enfoque, durante el año abordaremos con las empresas que conforman la iniciativa, y a través de distintos puntos de encuentro, los siguientes temas principales:

Contexto actual de la energía en las ciudades

Transformación del sistema energético en entornos urbanos
Reducción de Gases Efecto Invernadero
Energías renovables y nuevas alternativas de consumo energético
Tecnología como catalizador de la transformación
Eficiencia energética

De cara al cierre de esta edición, celebraremos una nueva edición de nuestro evento Ciudades Sostenibles 2030 en el marco de la Smart City Expo World Congress de Barcelona, en la que participarán tanto representantes de alto nivel de las empresas líderes de la iniciativa, como institucionales.

Tanto en los eventos privados como en el público, se compartirán casos prácticos llevados a cabo por las empresas que conforman la iniciativa, que, en su rol de líderes por la sostenibilidad, mostrarán el avance de los distintos sectores en la materia.

As a partner in Spain of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, Forética collaborates with this organization with the aim of transferring to the Spanish context the work that is being developed in the field of cities, from its area of Cities & Mobility.

Forética and the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge have signed a framework collaboration agreement to promote sustainable and environmentally responsible business management, especially through the Spanish Office for Climate Change (OECC), which reports to the Ministry.

At the national level, the Sustainable Cities 2030 Initiative is supported by leading organizations and institutions in the field of urban sustainability, such as the CONAMA Foundation, Distrito Castellana Norte and the Madrid World Capital of Engineering, Construction and Architecture Association (MWCC).

The initiative has also counted on the participation in the sessions with prestigious organizations such as the World Economic Forum, C40 or UN Habitat Spain, as well as with the presence of city councils such as Madrid, Seville or Vitoria.

Forética also maintains strategic alliances with forums and events such as the Smart City Expo World Congress and the Cities Forum, among others. In 2023, Forética will organize the annual public event of the Sustainable Cities 2030 initiative, at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona, which this year will be held from November 7 to 9.
