Satellite event: European Climate Initiative "Living Streets Projects in Portugal"

This webinar aims to present some of the ideas submitted for the Project Living Streets, developed under the European Climate Initiative (EUKI).

Among other objectives, the project seeks to increase capacities of cities and networks in Greece, Croatia, and Portugal to engage citizens on energy and climate issues. By blocking streets for motorized traffic, Living Streets turns streets into social hubs and uses the space to bring citizens and local climate projects together. Thus, citizens can direct their feedback at the climate projects while experiencing the potential of a car-free city at the same time. In turn, policy makers experience the positive impact of citizen participation on policy implementation.

The project is coordinated by Energy Cities, with the participation of Terra Hub (Croatia), Sustainable City Network (Greece) and Oeste Sustentável Regional Energy Agency (Portugal).
