What percentage of Mallorca’s land is organic? How is waste managed? What is the conservation status of Posidonia seagrass? How much renewable energy is generated in Mallorca?
The Mallorca Environmental Sustainability Observatory (OSMM) was created to help answer these and other questions. An initiative led by the Mallorca Preservation Foundation, the OSMM aims to raise awareness of the current state of environmental sustainability on the island through the collection, analysis and dissemination of data and indicators.
The indicators are grouped around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing an overall picture of Mallorca’s environmental progress and helping to identify the island’s main challenges and areas for improvement.
In 2025, the OSMM expanded its annual report to include 76 indicators, 29 more than in 2024, incorporating new official data covering areas such as energy, water, waste, mobility, agriculture, wildfires and human pressure. This update makes it possible to analyse trends, track the island’s progress and identify priority areas for action.
In addition, the OSMM has strengthened its outreach activities through new social media channels and the publication of analyses on current environmental issues in Mallorca, helping to make data more accessible to the public and consolidating the Observatory as a source of information and reference on environmental sustainability for both local and national media.
