He also pointed out as &#8220;the best policies&#8221; those that &#8220;promote the participation of Administrations, private entities and civil society&#8221;. <br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>  In this context, he highlighted the <strong>success of the <a href=\"http:\/\/fundacion-biodiversidad.es\/economia-y-empleo-verde\/proyectos-propios\/programa-empleaverde\">Empleaverde Programme<\/a><\/strong>, promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment, through the Biodiversity Foundation, &#8220;which has promoted in just over five years the creation of 300 companies, the promotion of 2,000 lines of business and reached more than 800,000 people, of which some 60,000 young people have received training&#8221;.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>  On this point, the Secretary of State also highlighted the importance of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redemprendeverde.es\/\">Emprendeverde Network<\/a>, which &#8220;<strong>encourages, energises and helps more than 5,000 entrepreneurs<\/strong>, with the collaboration of the most prestigious universities and business schools in Spain, to develop investment projects and other activities of the green economy&#8221;.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>  In his opinion, &#8220;training and employment in environmental activities can and should be developed together, and growth and employment policies must be at the heart of the political agenda; as growth will be green or it will not be, <strong>employment policy must go hand in hand with environmental policy<\/strong>,&#8221; Ramos argued.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>  The Secretary of State assured that &#8220;<strong>environmental objectives have an increasingly cross-cutting dimension and affect more sectors of the economy<\/strong>, so it is necessary to incorporate economic and social actors to participate in their formulation: social dialogue with companies, workers and civil society is essential&#8221;.  he insisted.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>  Among the <strong>barriers that must be overcome<\/strong> <strong>to promote the green economy<\/strong>, he pointed out, are access to financing for SMEs and administrative obstacles for them. &#8220;It is important to lighten this procedure to the minimum necessary, as Spain has done with the Environmental Assessment Law,&#8221; he concluded. <br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":35448,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"palabras_clave":[],"class_list":["post-97857805","actualidad_home","type-actualidad_home","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
