Intergreen Erasmus +

As the year comes to a close, GIP FIPAN , the French partner of the Intergreen Erasmus + project, successfully hosted a 2-day training session on sustainable development for municipal staff. This initiative was made possible with the invaluable support of their local partner neede. A total of 8 employees from the southern French municipalities of La Farlède, Draguignan, Gignac-la-Nerthe, Solliès-Toucas, Ollioules and Vitrolles were trained. These key agents of change will work to build more sustainable and resilient communities.🌱✨ Stay tuned to find out more!

The Olympic House in Lausanne, Switzerland, is home to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is considered not only an architectural marvel, but also a beacon of sustainability. Nestled in Parc Louis-Bourget, the Olympic House harmonizes with its natural surroundings, offering stunning views of Lake Geneva. The park-like setting enhances its integration with nature while providing a peaceful, inspiring environment. The most important sustainability features are: 🔹 Energy Efficiency: It uses renewable energy sources like solar panels and hydropower, achieving carbon neutrality. 🔹 Smart Systems: Advanced technologies monitor and optimize energy and water usage. 🔹 Recycled Materials: Construction utilized locally sourced and recycled materials to minimize its environmental impact. 🔹 LEED Platinum Certification: The building meets the highest green building standards globally. By prioritizing sustainability, the Olympic House not only minimizes its environmental impact but also inspires others to take bold steps toward a greener future. https://lnkd.in/dMtJsSyf

Emilia Romagna is one of the Italian regions that is doing the most to counter the effects of climate change. The region is particularly prone to floods and flooding, which in 2023 caused fatalities and extensive damage. With this in mind, it is significant that the region's leaders have been implementing the ‘Emilia-Romagna Mitigation and Adaptation Strategy’ for some time now. This is because, on the one hand, it is necessary to implement policies that can decrease emissions (mitigation) and, on the other hand, to address the inevitable impacts that climate change will bring to the territories (mitigation). The starting point was to sign up first to the ‘European Climate Change Adaptation Strategy’ of 2013 and then to the Paris Agreement of 2015. The aim is to create awareness and implement an integrated and reinforcing strategy of regional mitigation and adaptation policies that will go far beyond what the European Commission calls for with directives and regulations. https://lnkd.in/dF4zP--D

Priority targets in the European Union include cutting car emissions by 55% by 2030. For this reason, it is important that urban areas take action to provide residents with greener alternatives for travelling. A recent study by the Smart City Expo World Congress has named London, Amsterdam, and Vienna as the top European cities leading in sustainable transport. The cities were evaluated based on factors such as the availability of shared bike programs, length of cycling routes, bus fare affordability, and the presence of electric buses. The study also considered the number of electric cars and charging stations, air pollution levels, and the number of airports to assess the overall environmental impact of transport in each location. With electric buses, extensive bike paths, and abundant EV charging stations, these cities show that eco-friendly commuting is not just a goal but a reality. Meanwhile, Helsinki shines with the cleanest air and longest bike lanes, rounding out the top 5. https://lnkd.in/dXXxKcQb

Our partners from The Republic of North Macedonia, ECO – LOGIC, have just completed a 3 days event with 15 municipal workers, including a Mayor. 🤝 Working directly with municipal workers from urban and rural areas, in their respective regions, the Intergreen partners will test run the developed training course and physical board game, titled "Green Up". 💻 Following the local piloting, a series of international online meetings will take place in October and November, with all participants from the local piloting workshops. 🔗 To access the training course in EN, visit our elearning platform https://lnkd.in/dYADMS_B. The training course will soon be available in all partner languages.

🚵♀️EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK is the European Commission’s flagship awareness-raising campaign on sustainable urban mobility. 🏞In 2024, EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK is all about ‘Shared public space’. Shared public space brings many benefits to society. There is greater social fairness, increased road safety, reduced noise and air pollution, and an overall higher quality of life in an area where people, transportation, and activities all have their own space. 🤲Municipalities have a key role to play towards sustainable urban mobility. Green and sustainable practices should start from the grassroots. Our Intergreen project is actively working for resources to empower municipality workers and municipalities for greener, sustainable urban public spaces. You can track the different events planned for 16-22 of September in the dedicated page: https://lnkd.in/d6heWsi
