Congratulations to the city of Elsinore for being one of just two European Green Leaf cities in 2024!🌿   Green Leaf is a European Commission award that recognises cities with less than 100,000 inhabitants for their commitment to sustainability and the green transition. With urban areas being the source of many of today’s environmental challenges, it’s instrumental that cities across Europe do their part to further the green transition.   This brings us to Elsinore. What has Hamlet’s hometown done to earn this recognition?   ✅ It is accelerating the energy renovation of buildings and expanding fossil-free district heating.   ✅It has decided to reconstruct the sewage system to separate rainwater and wastewater to improve water quality and efficiency.   ✅It works with biodiversity and sustainable land use.   ✅It focuses on recycling and the principles of circular economy.   ✅The city has achieved a high level of engagement of citizens and local businesses.   The same commitment is true to Elsinore's meetings industry, which includes a wide range of certified venues and hotels as well as restaurants with a green focus. And equally important, the beautiful coastal city is only a 40-minute train ride from Copenhagen.🚆 Helsingør Kommune #sustainability #meetingsprof #eventprofs #greenleaf

Valencia has been named European Green Capital 2024 by the European Commission! The city earned this title due to its past and present achievements in sustainable tourism, climate neutrality, and a fair and inclusive green transition. 97% of the city's residents live within 250 meters of green urban areas. With this award, the European Commission recognizes cities with over 100,000 inhabitants that undertake projects to reduce environmental impacts and improve quality of life. Here are 8 sustainable/ecological/green highlights of Valencia: 🌱 Green spaces Through the city center, where the Turia River once flowed, winds an impressive nine-kilometer route of gardens and sports and recreational areas, now known as the Jardín del Turia. 🔬 Science and innovation Valencia's 'City of Arts and Sciences' advocates for environmental education and serves as a beacon of awareness with exhibitions dedicated to our planet's ecosystems. 🍎 Local food production Valencia is surrounded by 120 km2 of fertile farms that supply the city and the famous Central Market of Valencia with fresh vegetables and fruits year-round. 🚊 Sustainable mobility The city boasts a network of over 200 kilometers of bike lanes and an efficient metro and tram system. ☀️ Renewable energy Alternative forms of energy are being explored, such as harnessing energy from waves and utilizing solar energy from the 300 days of sunshine per year. 🌳 Natural parks Valencia is a city with two protected natural parks, and the Albufera Nature Park is one of Europe's most important wetlands due to its biodiversity. ✈️ Sustainable tourism Every year, 2.2 million tourists visit the city and are encouraged to explore the city by bike or on foot, support small businesses, and try the local gastronomy. 🐙 Ocean conservation Valencia's Oceanogràfic Foundation helps restore damaged ecosystems, rescue animals, and monitor the overall natural environment.

🌿 Medellín’s Green Corridors: A Model for Urban Sustainability! 🌿 Medellín, Colombia's second largest city, launched its "green corridors" program in 2016 to tackle air pollution and rising heat. This initiative connects over 30 green corridors, integrating newly-greened road verges, vertical gardens, streams, parks, and nearby hills. Initially, the project saw the planting of around 120,000 plants and 12,500 trees on roads and parks. Today, Medellín boasts 2.5 million new smaller plants and 880,000 trees across the city! 🌳🌱 🔹 Urban Sustainability : Transforming urban areas into green, breathable spaces. 🔹 Environmental Impact : Reducing air pollution and combating urban heat. 🔹 Community Involvement : Engaging residents in creating a healthier living environment. Medellín's initiative serves as an inspiring example for cities worldwide striving for a sustainable future! 🌍✨ #Medellin #UrbanSustainability #GreenCorridors #EnvironmentalImpact #CityGreenery #SustainableCities #UrbanGreening #AirQuality #ClimateAction #EcoFriendly #GreenInitiatives #SustainableLiving

🌊 Exploring Angeiras: A Glimpse into Sustainable Coastal Living Today, participants of the II Transnational Forum had the unique opportunity to visit Angeiras, where we explored various facets of a community deeply rooted in sustainable fishing practices. Our visit encompassed the scenic beach, structures integral to local fishing activities, and the bustling fish and seafood market, which serves as a cornerstone of the local economy. This immersive experience provided a firsthand look at how Angeiras integrates sustainability with daily life and economic activities. Observing these practical applications helps to bridge the gap between theoretical sustainability discussions at the forum and real-world implementation, offering valuable insights into the preservation of maritime heritage and the promotion of environmentally conscious practices. The visit to Angeiras not only enriched our understanding but also inspired us to consider how these practices can be adapted and applied in other coastal communities around the world. #IIForumSEALabHaus #SustainableFishing #AngeirasVisit #BlueTourism #SeaAndSustainability Interreg Atlantic Area

AMAZON , Don’t destroy AMAZON Our forests are disappearing at an alarming rate. Over the past few decades, we've witnessed the devastating impact of deforestation, with millions of acres of lush, vibrant ecosystems being cleared for various purposes. This alarming trend not only destroys the natural habitats of countless species but also contributes to climate change, soil erosion, and the disruption of vital water cycles. It's time we take action to protect and restore our precious forests and oceans and finally Earth before it's too late. NATO or other Organizations are also responsible for protecting our forests and oceans and all humanity with peace . They should respect to all thoughts without considering racism and finally developing to keep our planet Earth . We have no other place to live as alternative except Earth .
