The projects to be developed on the coast of Los Tarajales, in Los Cristianos, and on Las Galletas beach are conditioned by the Plan to Promote the Environment for Adaptation to Climate Change, PIMA Adapta Costas, which last week presented the Ministry of Ecological Transition, Fight against Climate Change and Territorial Planning of the Government of the Canary Islands. The aim is to apply criteria that take into account the climatic risk which, in the case of Arona, includes the two areas among those valued as “hot spots” within the framework of the PIMA.
With this perspective, the mayor of Arona, José Julián Mena, accompanied by the councilor for the Environment area, Leopoldo Díaz Oda, held a meeting yesterday with the Deputy Minister for the Fight against Climate Change and Ecological Transition of the autonomous Executive, Miguel Ángel Pérez . In this framework, the authorities gathered reviewed the aroneros projects.
the first municipality
Arona is the first municipality to be visited by those responsible for the Department of Ecological Transition of the Regional Executive after the presentation of the PIMA project, a document that reflects 47 points on the Canarian coast as those with the highest risk. Mena, Díaz and Pérez agreed that “the projects that are launched today and in the coming years must necessarily take into account the climate risk in which we are immersed.”
The mayor maintains that “any action in Arona must be based on the premise that we are in one of those places detected as being susceptible to being affected by climate risk and, therefore, we have to adapt them and take this reality into account in order to the different interventions on coasts that are carried out, “concluded José Julián Mena.
