Colombia. The Colombian Chamber of Construction, Camacol Antioquia, and the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley signed the sustainable construction agreement, a strategy so that the different urban projects in Medellín and the subregion have a lower negative environmental impact and contribute to the quality of the environment.
"We signed an agreement to start with the construction of the public policy of sustainable construction in the Metropolitan Area, which will involve going through all the 10 councils of the Aburrá Valley, presenting a draft municipal agreement that allows us to install that public policy. We are going to try to make the construction more efficient and generate fewer negative impacts on the environment," said Eugenio Prieto Soto, director of the Metropolitan Area.
This strategy has the endorsement of the United Nations, among 100 proposals and is the first selected in Latin America. This phase will have the contribution of technical and financial resources close to 400 million pesos delivered by the United Nations Office for the Environment.
"The fundamental thing is to achieve construction with less environmental impact, less consumption of natural resources, more efficient. We are creating environmental management departments in construction, generating indicators and so that mistakes are not repeated," said Eduardo Loaiza, manager of the Colombian Chamber of Construction, Camacol Antioquia.
The strategy contemplates a route that will have to do with the improvement of biodiversity, in the interior and exterior spaces, homes to be built, location and also regulation of dumps.
