Over 250 University Of Malta Academics Supporting Saturday’s National Environmental Protest
Over 250 academics at the University of Malta have expressed their support towards this week’s upcoming national environmental protest.
This comes as Moviment Graffitti, together with seven other environmental organisations, are organising the biggest environmental protest for this year yet, happening this Saturday at 10.30am in Valletta.
“Academics at the University of Malta hereby join Moviment Graffitti, Friends of the Earth Malta, Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar, Din l-Art Ħelwa, Nature Trust Malta-FEE, Għawdix, BirdLife Malta and Ramblers’ Association Malta, in promoting an economic model that equitably enhances the quality of life, and in demanding institutional and policy reforms in the fields of environment, planning, and lands,” they said in a statement.
“Academics recognise that 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 the quality of life, cultural and natural heritage in Malta.”
“Research undertaken by scholars at the University of Malta and elsewhere presents an opportunity for such an evaluation to be based on evidence.”
