SDG4MED

"SDG4MED – Sustainable Development Goals for the Mediterranean" is an NGO which aims at acting as an "observatory of sustainable development goals (SGDs) for the Mediterranean". It therefore contributes to the cultural debate stemming from these themes defined in the UN 2030 Agenda and it promotes local, national and international initiatives with the aims of aggregating and involving SMEs and Small Municipalities of the Mediterranean Basin in achieving the SGDs. Established in early 2020 as a joint initiative of Fondazione CS MARE (Italy) and Fundacion Philippe Cousteau (Spain), it recently evolved into an Association and incorporated the managing staff and knowledge base of Fondazione CS MARE. As a result, its field of activities include maritime logistics, sustainable tourism at sea, shipbuilding, marine resources (fisheries, energy from the sea, biodiversity), agriculture and renewable energies, urban logistic and transport safety as well as digitalisation as a mean to achieve decarbonisation. Entirely financially supported by its members, its HQ are based in Catania and, as of as March 2020, it operates in Italy, Egypt, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Israel and Belgium.
