Jaione Ortiz de Zarate

The 0% emissions goal of the European Union wants to achieve an emissions clean atmosphere for a 2050 society that expects to contain 66% of the population in its cities. This will depend on the need for a project that anticipates the 27 billion daily trips, supply, social justice, health.... a long-term strategic plan starting today, where the objectives are forceful and integral willing to create respectful and sustainable societies and territories with strong social, economic and environmental bases.
Today's cities are not the problem but the solution to the climate emergency, using territorial planning and sectoral policies as a regulatory and precedent tool where the imaginary of a resilient, anticipated and fairer future will converge.
