Go Green Now

About the project

The project was co-financed by the European Union through the programme Europe for Citizens (Action 1 – Measure 1.2). The measure supported actions that aimed to establish thematic and long lasting cooperation between municipalities and regions in order to address common issues. The partnership recognized the common need of a more efficient use of energy at local level in addiction to a lack of awareness raising actions and analysis of the specific local realities (climate, infrastructure, legislation, knowledge levels). Go Green Now! addressed different target groups in order to raise awareness on sustainable lifestyles and conscious consumption at multiple levels. Partners founded the involvement of local actors to be the most important aspect as it is tied to the planning and adoption of innovative solutions in terms of policies and technologies; transport; energy efficiency and renewable energy sources at local level in a long term perspective in order to go from awareness raising actions to concrete ones.

Objectives

  1. To create awareness of energy related environmental issues and mobilise action among the event’s target groups;
  2. To understand local realities in different countries;
  3. To increase knowledge of aims, tools and methods for involving local citizens in the planning process in order to go from simple raising awareness actions to concrete ones;
  4. To promote networking among different actors (target groups) at local level and in the European partnership.
