Industrial Parks Play a Pivotal Role in Achieving the United Nations Sustnable Development Goals: A Case Study of Malague?o Industrial Park
The current global economy heavily relies on fossil fuels, exacerbated by an expanding population, which places immense strn on society and the environment. To address these challenges, the 17 Sustnable Development Goals SDGs, part of Aga 2030, serve as a global call to action med at eradicating poverty, preserving the environment, promoting justice, and improving quality of life worldwide for all individuals UN Sustnable Development Goals, 2023. These goals consist of 169 specific objectives that necessitate collaborative actions from various stakeholders.
The SDGs are set globally but their implementation hinges on activities at local levels and individual enterprises. Each context presents unique characteristics and challenges requiring tlored approaches that consider local socioeconomic, environmental realities to ensure effective outcomes.
The Malague?o Industrial Park showcases the potential of industrial parks in contributing towards achieving the SDGs Palacio et al., 2023. will delve into how this specific industrial park demonstrates the synergies between industrial growth and sustnable development goals.
The Malague?o Industrial Park's strategic location, zoning plans, infrastructure facilities, common areas, environmental rules, road access points, flexibility for future expansion, and careful consideration of all stages throughout its life cycle from design to closure play a significant role in integrating sustnability into industrial development.
Industry 4.0 technologies can amplify the contribution of industrial parks towards achieving sustnable goals by enhancing energy efficiency, fostering industrial symbiosis Palacio et al., 2023, and improving waste management systems Alvarez et al., 2023. Advancements in data analytics, the Internet of Things IoT technologies, and digital twins have immense potential to reduce environmental footprints while boosting productivity, thereby contributing significantly to local community well-being and global SDG objectives.
Technological upgrades along the automotive value chn offer valuable insights into adopting automation and digital production techniques that can propel industrial parks towards sustnable development International Trade Centre, 2023. This approach not only modernizes operations but also optimizes resource utilization and minimizes waste generation.
Industrial parks like Malague?o Industrial Park exemplify the potential of integrating sustnable practices with industrial growth. By considering local contexts in their planning stages, embracing Industry 4.0 technologies for enhanced efficiency, promoting industrial symbiosis, and adopting smart management techniques, these ecosystems can significantly contribute to achieving SDGs such as Zero Hunger, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Affordable Clean Energy, Sustnable Cities Communities, Climate Action, and others.
As global challenges escalate, embracing sustnability at the heart of industrial parks becomes imperative for ensuring environmental protection, promoting equitable economic growth, and upholding social justice worldwide United Nations Industrial Development Organization, 2023.
