Barcelona City Council has recognised sustainability projects through its 2030 Agenda Barcelona + Sostenible Awards. The awards focus on work that supports a more sustainable future for Barcelona and the wider Catalonia area.

The programme is designed to promote and acknowledge the efforts of organisations, businesses and individuals working towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, or SDGs, in the city. By highlighting these initiatives, the council aims to encourage more action and cooperation across local communities.

The awards also provide a public platform for practical solutions that address environmental, social and economic challenges. The council says this recognition helps raise awareness of sustainability and supports wider participation in green development efforts.

Officials said the awards are part of Barcelona's commitment to the 2030 Agenda, the global framework for sustainable development. The city has been working to integrate the SDGs into local policies and programmes to build a more resilient and fair urban environment for residents.
