AMSTERDAM<\/span>, May 2, 2022 \/PRNewswire\/ — The Public Access Lagoons\u2122<\/a><\/b> projects that Crystal Lagoons<\/a><\/b> is developing around the world could reduce 14 million tons in CO2<\/b> emissions, equivalent to 40% of the carbon footprint<\/b> of the tourism and transportation industries. Through its contribution to furthering carbon neutrality in different economic and social activities this has led the so-called PAL\u2122 developments to be recognized as “Champion of Champions”<\/b> in the 2022 version of the “Green World Awards” in Abu Dhabi<\/span>.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/span> <\/div>\n

The multinational water innovation company won both the award in the Carbon Reduction category<\/b> and the highest distinction<\/b> in these British sustainable awards, beating the winners<\/b> of the categories of Climate Change, Water and Energy Efficiency, Innovation and others, as well as the more than 500 entries<\/b> received by the organization.<\/p>\n

PAL\u2122 projects revolutionize cities by bringing beach life with turquoise waters and white sands to urban areas and reducing by about 50% the number of car journeys and flights to coastal destinations<\/b> and natural beaches that, globally, total about 35 million tons<\/b> of CO2 per year.<\/p>\n

The “Green World Awards”<\/b> recognize the countries, companies and organizations that contribute the most to protecting the ecosystem<\/b> and are sponsored by reputable British environmental organizations<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The PAL\u2122 developments were selected for their pro-environmental concept and the prize was awarded at Abu Dhabi<\/span>. The “Champion of Champions”<\/b> award is not the first accolade to be bestowed on PAL\u2122 projects. The model previously received the Green Apple Award at the Palace of Westminster in London<\/span>.<\/p>\n

A key factor in the nomination was the groundbreaking nature of these complexes, which bring beach life to the cities <\/b>through large crystalline lagoons suitable for swimming and water sports, surrounded by white sandy beaches and diverse infrastructure of services and entertainment.<\/p>\n

The PAL\u2122 developments reduce commuting and generate carbon footprint savings <\/b>equivalent to the annual energy consumption of 2.3 billion homes, as they allow people to access the beach by walking<\/b>, cycling, using public transportation or short car trips.<\/p>\n

Crystal Lagoons already has 810 PAL\u2122 developments <\/b>in various stages of development around the world. Among the most notable agreements are in: United States<\/span> <\/b>(5 PAL\u2122 projects in Orlando<\/span> and 4 in Atlanta<\/span>), Korea <\/b>(30 PAL\u2122 projects), Pakistan<\/span> <\/b>(15 PAL\u2122 complexes), Colombia<\/span> <\/b>(13 PAL\u2122 projects) and Central America<\/span> <\/b>(11 PAL\u2122 developments).<\/p>\n
