(updated on 25th April 2017)

In 2017, and before the autumn of the COP23, reality gaps are increasing at ground level between climate policy mandates and beneficial implementation for all. How can information on global climate realities and actions, urban and rural development, eco services and heritage protection close these gaps?

Green Sessions are launched as pragmatic, open dialogues to discuss gaps and synergies between Policy and Practice and to empower workable solutions into policy making and daily lives. European green policies and practices on city-regional level enable outstanding living economies, giving light to comprehensive strategies and answers leading to effective increase of green jobs, business growth and local prosperity.
