The Government of Catalonia has launched a comprehensive guide to help organizers plan and host sustainable events. The guide, titled “Guide to organizing sustainable events,” aims to incorporate sustainability criteria into public and private events, thereby contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The National Plan for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in Catalonia outlines the government’s commitment to achieving the SDGs, and the guide is a step towards fulfilling that commitment. The guide provides a framework for organizers to minimize the environmental impact of events, promote social responsibility, and support the local economy.

The guide covers a range of topics, including sustainable transportation options, waste management, energy efficiency, and the use of eco-friendly materials. It also provides guidance on engaging with local communities, promoting diversity and inclusivity, and ensuring the safety and well-being of event participants.

The launch of the guide comes at a time when the events industry is experiencing a growing demand for sustainable practices.The guide is expected to be a valuable resource for event organizers in Catalonia and beyond, as they seek to incorporate sustainability into their planning and operations. The Government of Catalonia hopes that the guide will encourage the wider adoption of sustainable practices in the events industry, helping to achieve the SDGs and create a more sustainable future for all.
