The mayor has also announced that, after its approval in the last municipal plenary session, “the city has begun to have for the first time a Municipal Strategic Plan for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation, a legal tool, which is considered a municipal ordinance , and that will help us to plan, systematize and coordinate all the actions that are promoted by the City Council, in this case the participation and awareness against this phenomenon, this great global problem that is climate change”.
Within this framework, after the success of the first edition held last year, with this second call for the ‘Buen Ambiente Fest’ from the City Council, it is intended, on the one hand, to promote coexistence and the use and enjoyment of the parks of the capital and, on the other, value the different green spaces of the city, influencing their natural wealth and also insisting on the need to make good use of all of them.
The awareness activities of this second ‘Good atmosphere Fest’ will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Friday. For the adult population, there will be a guided tour of ‘Huelva and its Parks’, which includes a tour of the Jardines del Muelle, better known as Parque de las Palomas, and Juan Ceada Infantes Park, highlighting its wealth, the importance of its different green areas and the need for all citizens to be involved in their maintenance and protection, always seeking the common good.
During the tour, thanks to the collaboration of the Huelva-based company Platalea, which has extensive experience in this matter, attendees will also be introduced to the most outstanding aspects of the history, buildings and sculptures that both parks have, as well as the flora and fauna that inhabit them.

This initiative is aimed at children and includes different activities so that children and girls, between the ages of 4 and 12, can actively participate and have fun, with proposals such as: making personalized badges, reduction and recycling games, and other educational dynamics.
