1 20-21 APRIL 2017 CALVIÀ, MALLORCA POWERING ISLANDS IN THE GLOBAL ERA

2 3 The islands know their needs of taking advantage of opportunities and also of assuming and facing their own challenges and threats. Nowadays, it is crucial to discuss about energy efficiency, sustainability, waste and water management and mobility in our territories. But in the specific case of islands, it is even more important; it is a matter of survival. Our territory is finite, it is fragile and limited, but at the same time is our most valuable treasure that we offer to our residents and visitors. Alfonso Rodríguez, Major of Calvià
