The Government of the Canary Islands has opened this Monday morning, October 21, an online participatory process, so that civil society can submit its proposals on the document of 51 measures that has been prepared with the conclusions of the five roundtables organized around the challenges of the demographic challenge, the economic model and the green and sustainable future that the Archipelago should have.
In this sense, a website has been enabled, from which you can download the document and make the contributions that each one wishes, until November 15. In this way, the proposals will enrich a text that will be presented at the II Conference of Presidents that will take place in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, on November 19 and, in turn, will be included in the opinion of the Parliamentary Committee on the demographic challenge.
This initial document is an opportunity for "economic development to be sustainable and have an impact on all Canarians, taking into account that the islands live two different realities. There are islands that are densely populated and those that are not, and within them the areas with more population and those that could be called emptied".
The measures that are promoted, after the November Conference, with their inclusion in the next Budgets of the Autonomous Community, must adjust to the reality of each of the islands and municipalities, counting on them for their legislation and providing resources to allow both councils and municipalities to execute them.
The islands have common challenges, objectives to fight for together such as climate change, the energy-water binomial, but always from the perspective of two different Canaries that, although they go at two speeds, none can be left behind.
