Quercus will help municipalities to promote green economy. Murtosa and Vouzela have already joined.
The municipalities of Murtosa and Vouzela were the first two to join partnerships for Biodiversity, a network of Portuguese municipalities that will collaborate with Quercus to demand that can be positively discriminated, with more revenue and more public investment directed to their economic and environmental recovery.According to Quercus, the project aims at increasing the values transferred to the municipalities with classified areas, by means of a better weighting of allocation coefficients laid down in the law of Local Finances and from other taxes.On the other hand, it assumes the increase of national and Community funds allocation to carry out private investments which allow the creation of jobs linked to the preservation and enhancement of biodiversity.Is the proposal promoting entrepreneurship still connected to the environment, to encourage the sustainable recovery of hazardous areas; the creation of alternative models of taxation that discriminate positively investments and economic activities; and the implementation of local strategies for the conservation of biodiversity and adaptation to climate change, actively involving local communities.The Protocol between the municipalities and the Quercus will be signed next tomorrow, marking the world day of the Earth.Photo: Vouzela.  guymoll/Creative Commons
