COGREENEU: European Cooperation Against Climate Change

ended

COGREENEU aims to involve citizens and communities in debates and actions related to our climate and environment by creating spaces for transnational activities, workshops and events where ideas and decisions on environmental sustainability can be put into practice. The results of the project will be based on the SDGs framed in the 2030 Agenda. Intergenerational citizen participation will be the key factor in including as many citizens as possible in the project, thus providing a plural, multicultural and diverse voice to address the major challenges emerging from the current climate situation. Only through the manifestation of citizens' we can approach local decisions into a greener, more sustainable and resource-efficient future to be achieved. The sector of youth will have a fundamental role in all the process-building of the project. COGREENEU will aim to give a voice and encourage debate among young people, who, on the other hand, have been especially affected by the current COVID19 crisis and are looking for their own spaces for participation in society. The main objectives which pursues this proposal are the following: - To build new local policies to be built up by citizens and youngsters as the main decision makers of the project. - Raise awareness and sensitise the young population about the European Green Deal and its role in the ecological transition of the EU; - Increase the civic responsibility of intergenerational citizens and their participation in issues related to the sustainable development of their cities; - Encourage the exchange of experiences and joint learning between the different participants from the different European cities, in order to formulate local strategies and actions on the European Green Deal and the ecological transition; - Contribute to disseminating and publicising European policies on the environment and climate change at local level, with particular emphasis on young Europeans.
