Over 250 academics support Saturday’s environmental protest

More than 250 academics have signed a statement in support of a major protest for a better environment to be held this Saturday

The academics said they’re joining the country’s leading environmental NGOs in promoting an economic model that equitably enhances quality of life, and in demanding institutional and policy reforms in the fields of environment, planning, and lands.

“Whilst many elements of our economic and planning models have been highly successful, a systematic evaluation is urgently needed to assess their weaknesses and the growing threats to quality of life, cultural and natural heritage in Malta”, the academics said.

The protest ‘Xebbajtuna! Bidla fl-Ambjent u l-Ippjanar ISSA!’ will be held in Valletta on Saturday from 10:30am, starting at Pjazza Tritoni.
