Malta set on green revolution

The Ministry for the Environment, Climate Change and Planning is going ahead with its initiative to improve the environment in residential and business areas in Malta. As a first phase of this drive, several local councils will be implementing greening projects in their localities with funding from the Ministry. To this end, memorandums of understanding were signed in April 2020 with the Qala, Sliema, Gudja, Żebbuġ, and Ħamrun local councils. According to a Ministry statement, the local councils themselves will pick targets such as streets, squares and other public spaces that are devoid of greenery. They will also select the kind of plants to be put in place there – either indigenous or foreign species that grow well in Malta’s dry climate
