According to Professor Felisbela Lopes, president of the jury – who, in this task, was accompanied by Tiago Miranda, Clara Almeida Santos, António Granado, and Gualter Crisóstomo -, “the distinguished journalistic works reveal significant quality and depth, although it is verified that in Portugal there is still room for a more reiterated agenda of sustainability issues”.
José Gomes Mendes, President of Fundação Mestre Casais, highlights “that there is a feeling that, with the succession of international crises such as the Covid pandemic and the war in Ukraine, the space for sustainability issues to penetrate the congested media agendas tends to shorten, which is why these Awards and the journalistic pieces in the competition are of particular importance, for their contribution to better sustainability literacy, in its climatic and environmental dimensions, but also social and human.”
The awards ceremony will take place today, July 3rd, at 11:00 am, at the CEiiA headquarters, in Matosinhos, and will be attended by Jorge Delgado, Secretary of State for Urban Mobility, and António Granado, professor at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, as a guest speaker.
