A representative of the Gibraltar Sustainable Buildings Group said: “Partnering on the ASPIRE conference aligns perfectly with GSBG’s mission. We’re proud to help bring together local and international experts to inspire practical, scalable solutions that make Gibraltar’s buildings more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable.”

Dr John Cortes, the Minister for the Environment, said: “This conference is important because it brings together actors from the public and private sectors, with the common goal of understanding our challenges and devising ways to overcome them.”

“If you are interested in delivering a more sustainable future then this conference is for you.”
