Our Vision and Mission

Our vision is for a prosperous Gibraltar where a clean and healthy environment enhances social and economic well being.

Our mission is one of environmental stewardship for a prosperous Gibraltar.

The environmental issues facing the world and in particular, Gibraltar, makes work within the environment and climate change an increasingly important issue to tackle. Economic prosperity and quality of life are at the core of these environmental issues.

The key environmental issues the Ministry wants to progress on are air quality, energy efficiency, conservation of our natural environment, contaminated lands, renewable energy, waste management and water quality.

Government requires the Ministry to seek an appropriate balance between our environmental goals and economic objectives.

The Environmental Charter

The Charter forms the basis of Government’s approach towards a sustainable and healthy environment for all its residents and defines the Government’s environmental policies. The Government remains fully committed to continuous environmental improvements and will adopt a set of policies that reflect its concern for the quality of the local and global environment based on the correct balance between preserving and enhancing all aspects of our environment on the one hand and Gibraltar’s social and economic needs on the other.
