Implementing the Intermunicipal Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change, continuing to promote mobility in the region and strengthening AMAL's Forestry Office in the defense of forests and rural areas are the activities provided for in the Major Plan Options (GOP) and Budget of the Intermunicipal Community of Algarve (AMAL) for 2022. The documents, which foresee an investment of around 4,7 million euros, were approved at a meeting of the Intermunicipal Council.
In a press release, AMAL stresses that "next year will be a year of affirmation" of this entity, as Regional Transport Authority, with the recent entry into operation of the concession of the public road passenger transport service – VAMUS.
