Sustainability Mandate of Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid has the clear social and environmental mandate to meet the needs of its citizens. The Region is committed to integrate sustainable development and social responsibility in all its activities while playing a key role to promote sustainable development initiatives on the territory. Social expenditures includes several programs such as the financing of public polices related to public health, education, social services, employment promotion, public transportation, and subsidized housing. The community of Madrid's expenditure on social programs aims to strengthen Madrid's socio-economic recovery and improve social cohesion, thanks to the development of public services that benefit all the citizens and the implementation of programs to promote employment through investment in small businesses. Additionally, Comunidad de Madrid has an important environmental mandate. Almost 50% of the region area of the region is protected due to its environmental protection and conservation value. The geo-economic situation in Madrid creates the need to implement policies for pollution management and waste treatment in densely populated urban areas. Regarding the latter, the region set out its Strategy for Sustainable Waste Management for the 2017-2024 period. In relation to climate change and air quality, the Plan Azul+ 2013-2020 has been the backbone for eight years, particularly focusing on tackling pollution and promoting energy efficiency. Among the measures set out in the Plan Azul+, which is expected to be followed by a new plan from 2021, we find the following objectives by sector, which are representative of the region's general sustainable strategy: • • • • Transportation: modernisation of the taxi and bus fleets with greener vehicles, improvement of bicycle infrastructure, fiscal incentives for the transition towards greener technologies in private transportation Industry: reduction of emissions from industrial activities, like NOX produced by cogeneration plants Residential/commercial/institutional: use of clean fuels for domestic heating, improvements in energy efficiency, smart grids Agriculture: sustainable management of forests, promotion and development of biomass energy In the social category, there is a Strategy for Social Inclusion 2016/2021, within the framework of the Europe 2020 Strategy, which seeks to eradicate severe poverty from the region.
