The Spanish NOC and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) have signed a three-year Memorandum of Understanding that sets out a cooperation framework in which the two parties can develop and implement initiatives.

Efforts will be focused on the UN’s 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals, with campaigns to raise awareness among the public and to promote the use of biodegradable, sustainable products.

The agreement was signed by NOC President Alejandro Blanco and Alex Mejía, Director of UNITAR’s Division for People and Social Inclusion and head of the institute’s CIFAL Global Network.
