- Study of mobility and developing a sustainable urban mobility plan. - Conducting an awareness campaign for the promotion of walking and cycling.
- Adaptation of a network of corridors and bike lanes
- Connections between neighborhoods
- Streets adaptation to 10, 20 and 30 speed
- Changing Traffic light cycles to reduce waiting times
- Removing physical and architectural barriers in streets - Municipal Ordinance for pedestrians and bicycles - Improving public transport system
Renewal of the public buses fleet to allow them to use biofuel, to get 90% biofuel. Changing the fleet of city cleaning and maintenance to cleaner fuels like biodiesel, electricity, ... Changing diesel vehicles to electric by the company that manages the cemetery. Changing diesel vehicles and gasoline vehicles to LPG, biodiesel, hybrid and electric, which produce fewer emissions.

Encourage change to more efficient tire: Inform the public through various media about the IDAE aid for changing tires. Making a promotional campaign to inform of benefits and economic facilities to change to more efficient vehicles. Energy saving specific campaigns included within the Young Plan were also made. Encouraging eco-driving through awareness campaigns to citizens (lectures, brochures, ...). Design of a Guide to implementation of a plan for energy savings in schools, to encourage behavioral change towards a more responsible consumption. It is intended that 50% of citizens change their habits through awareness campaigns, distribution of recycling bags, brochures, lectures, savings tips newsletters and purchase of green power. General awareness for the acquisition of responsible habits in energy consumption to collaborate in the fight against climate change and adapting habits to periods of scarcity of resources.

The University of Granada (UGR), in its evolution towards integration and communication stakeholders of the various policies carried out, has developed a "Methodology for Sustainability Applied to Building".
One of the last European agreements stipulates that new public buildings should have almost zero energy consumption in 2018.
UGR, as the engine of knowledge and innovation society of Granada, has set a minimum requirement for eligibility, qualified as mandatory requirements for all contests relating to those projects and tenders for work in new construction and rehabilitation.
By fulfilling these minimum requirements, the University of Granada, want to achieve two objectives:
• Minimum Energy Rating B (*), according to RD 47/2007 of 19th of January, approving the basic procedure for certifying the energy efficiency of new buildings.
• Certificate level, according to the International Classification System LEED Green Building (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
To achieve the objectives, the UGR is implementing energy efficiency measures such as improved insulation or enclosures.
Other saving measures such as the campaign for the responsible use of the lifts or bicycle loan system.
