Bringing the Green Deal to the EU's Macroregions - 11WS22506

There is considerable reciprocity between the EU Macroregions and the Green Deal: while macroregions support the implementation of the EU Green Deal in a transnational context, the EU Green Deal provides them with a common vision.

Meetings and events are the places where the implementers and stakeholders of EU Macroregions (EU Strategies for the Adriatic-Ionian Region - EUSAIR; the Alpine Region - EUSALP; the Danube Region - EUSDR and the Baltic Sea Region - EUSBSR) build their common vision and reach agreements to achieve the Action Plans' objectives. Although meetings and events are crucial for multi-level governance, they nevertheless produce significant impacts in terms of both waste creation and carbon footprints. Thus, reducing their negative environmental impacts is the very first step in promoting the shift towards more sustainable practices and behaviours throughout each region.

The best practice "EUSAIR - Bringing the Green Deal to the Region", promoted by DG Regio and coordinated by the Forum of the Adriatic and Ionian Chambers of Commerce, supports the EUSAIR community’s green transformation with both a strategy and practical tools. This workshop aims to explore opportunities for applying this strategy to other EU Macroregions.
