Challenges…
…on the way towards effective response to climate change
and more sustainable Europe at municipal level….
• Complex work has often been delegated to (young) project workers
• Commonly no resources/willingness to coordinate and support the
implementation from top to down
• No localised guidance materials for implementation
• No follow-up, no feedback, no carrots, no sticks no motivation
• Too many ‘signals’ without common coordination and support
(Partly also at Regional, National and EU level!)
One answer- The European Partnership
TO COPE WITH
THE CHALLENGES AND
WORK TOGETHER TO MAINSTREAM
INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT
OF SUSTAINABLE
