SIGAUS, for a fifth time, will support the gathering of the Association of Environmental Information Journalists, which will hold its National Conference in November. Under the motto ‘Water Counts’, the conference will address various topics related to water resources, from coastal and maritime development to water conflicts, the agri-food model and the oceans, among others.

It is one of the main events in this sector that, every two years, brings together specialised reporters, environmentalists, forest engineers, environmental educators and others, with the aim of seeking and fostering debate, exchanging opinions and, above all, drawing conclusions and searching for solutions related to the leading topics in environmental communication.

The conference will feature different case studies, including those involving SIGAUS and GENCI, highlighting the effectiveness of management models for used industrial oils and commercial and industrial packaging waste to ensure that the environment is free of this waste. This is a particularly important task in areas near water resources, such as rivers or reservoirs—sensitive areas where managing waste is especially crucial.
