ADPD-The Green Party on Tuesday said that Malta's natural resources are being treated as infinite, leading to a decline in the national quality of life. Chairperson Sandra Gauci and candidate Mark Zerafa criticised the current political landscape for transforming the islands into a perpetual construction site, claiming the Planning Authority functions more as a permit factory than a guardian of public interest.

They argued that environmental policy must shift from repairing damage to preventing it through sustainable planning and the protection of biodiversity.

The party presented a comprehensive set of proposals aimed at radical reform. Key among these is a full revision of local plans to ensure land use is based on climate criteria, including a requirement for buildings to generate their own energy. ADPD also called for the immediate abolition of the 2006 rationalization plans, insisting that all undeveloped land within these zones be reclassified as Out of Development Zone (ODZ). Other urban proposals include halting massive commercial developments that exacerbate traffic and investing in sustainable mobility to reduce air pollution and respiratory illnesses.

Regarding natural heritage, the party advocated for the strict protection of agricultural land and private gardens, as well as the enforcement of Public Domain laws to ensure coastlines remains accessible to everyone. Their platform includes stronger measures against marine pollution, illegal fishing, and spring hunting.

Additionally, ADPD proposed constitutional amendments to strengthen environmental rights, allowing citizens to seek legal redress when the government fails to act. To improve public access to the countryside, they suggested publishing a definitive map of public footpaths, creating a national agency for walking routes, and establishing a National Trail along the Victoria Lines. Ultimately, the party maintains that the environment is the foundation of a fair society rather than an obstacle to economic growth.
