It defends the creation of a digital platform worldwide for the exchange of knowledge in the promotion of green economies.
La iniciativa impulsada por varias Reservas de Biosfera encabezadas por Fuerteventura, el Gobierno de Canarias, la OSE (Observatorio de la Sostenibilidad de España), Teyde (operador de la herramienta), el HIST de Pekín, diversas universidades y los apoyos de España, Portugal y países como Santo Tomé y Príncipe y Corea, promueve una plataforma digital para la cooperación y desarrollo de buenas prácticas en las reservas de Biosfera, contando con sistemas de información avanzados, que incluyen indicadores y herramientas inteligentes.
It is UNESCO's interest that this initiative transcend the World Network of Biosphere Reserves and that this be its collaborative platform specializing in key issues such as energy sustainability (renewable and energy efficiency), green economies, intelligent urban spaces and climate change.
