  1. EMAS driver for change

    Comments Off on EMAS driver for change

    New case study online

    For the 2019 edition of the EMAS Awards, the European Commission acknowledged the achievements of EMAS registered organisations that implemented EMAS as a driver of change towards sustainable transition through a long-term holistic vision for a positive impact on sustainable development as a whole.

     

    EMAS is an important environmental policy instrument that contributes to the achievement of the Paris Agreement Goals as well as to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With their systematic environmental management processes, EMAS registered organisations are well-placed to take pioneering steps in making a sustainable transition reality. That is why the EU wants to identify the best strategies and measures taken by EMAS registered organisations and boost their visibility to promote their replication across the EU.

  5. 20/09/2018 – European Conference “Civil society and municipalities: building sustainability through collaboration”

    Comments Off on 20/09/2018 – European Conference “Civil society and municipalities: building sustainability through collaboration”

    This conference takes place within the context of the 2nd European Day of Sustainable Communities and is part of ongoing collaboration between the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and the European network for community-led initiatives on climate change and sustainability (ECOLISE).

    Citizen and community-led action on climate change and sustainability has spawned a dynamic, grassroots movement, with thousands of communities across Europe striving to redefine our relationship with the natural world by designing and testing new economic, social and environmental innovations that promote regeneration and sustainability.

    There is growing evidence and recognition that these bottom-up approaches are an essential complement to top-down approaches in achieving the radical, structural and lasting lifestyle changes necessary for creating an equitable, sustainable and low-carbon society.

    Increasingly, these community initiatives are engaging in dialogue with municipal partners, helping to inspire and even reorient municipal activities, in line with longer term climate and sustainability goals. This kind of local alignment or integration can be a powerful means of mobilising support and engagement on common goals.

    The conference will facilitate a conversation in which participants can share experiences, and explore ways to encourage and support this type of collaboration. The conference is being co-hosted by the EESC and ECOLISE, in collaboration with Transition Network and the Committee of the Regions.

    Join us to hear the latest information from ECOLISE, including learnings from the ongoing project on Municipalities in Transition (MiT) and to connect with those involved in dynamic collaborations across Europe and beyond.

    A programme is now available. To register, click here. Please note that registrations will close on Friday 14 September at noon and those who have registered will receive an invitation to choose which of the parallel break-out sessions they wish to attend.
