The meeting comes at the request of a professional association seeking a greater technical role and the release of vacant public sector positions within the Ministry

This opens the door to a much more technical and cross-cutting approach to managing the ecological transition

The Valencian Government, through the Third Vice Presidency and Ministry of the Environment, Infrastructure, Territory and Recovery, led by Vicente Martínez Mus, held a key meeting with the top representatives of the professional associations of Environmental Scientists, Biologists, Geologists, Chemists, and Chemical Engineers, following a formal request submitted by this union of professional entities. The meeting, which included the Minister himself, the Regional Secretary, and the Director General of Environmental Quality and Education, aimed to analyze the strategic role of these scientific disciplines in addressing the challenge of the climate emergency in the Valencian Community.

During the meeting, the professional association formally requested its integration into the Ministry's structure to foster multidisciplinary teams. They also raised the issue of the appeal filed regarding the exclusion of these degrees from new public sector job openings. In response, the regional government has committed to exploring the possibility of opening these scientific positions if the current openings remain vacant during the ongoing selection process. Finally, the professional associations have announced the creation of a joint working group that will serve as a consultative body and provide direct technical advice to the Valencian Government.

In conclusion, this meeting marks a turning point, paving the way for a much more technical and cross-cutting approach to managing the ecological transition. The regional government has committed to evaluating local scientific talent to ensure that climate and recovery policies have the support and expertise that the current situation in the Valencian Community demands.
