Implementing SDGs to a Sustainable Rural Village Development from Community Empowerment: Linking Energy, Education, Innovation, and Research
Summary. Rural areas worldwide suffer from depopulation and lack access to modern energy services, education, and healthcare. This paper describes the ALMIA project in Almatret, Spain, which transformed a small rural municipality through community empowerment. The project created networks connecting local residents with experts and researchers to drive energy transition, involved local administration, and promoted technological and socio-community development. The authors demonstrate how these activities align with UN Sustainable Development Goals and argue that community empowerment is key to reversing rural decline.
