Funded under the CERV-2021-CITIZENS-TOWN (Call for proposals for town-twinning and networks of towns), Priority: 1 – A European Green Deal
Local authorities need to acquire knowledge and tools to be leading actors of change and make a concrete and measurable contribution to the achievement of the ambitious objectives of the EU Green Deal strategy.
The project aims at promoting a better knowledge and understanding of the instruments and opportunities offered by the Green Deal among local administrators, also through their direct involvement in information actions. Moreover, it aims at disseminating information, giving voice to local actors and, at the same time, developing a path of dialogue and exchange of experiences and points of view on the impact of the Green Deal at local level.
CLAIRE project starts from the concept that, if municipalities and local administrators are better informed and equipped to fully understand the transformative potential of the EU Green Deal implementation at local level, then they can:
- improve the quality of the administrative function
- develop policies inspired by the Green Deal
- implement “greener” actions
- be an example for local communities
- engage their citizens
CLAIRE project directly targets the local administrators and civil servants of the partner countries (Italy, Portugal, Romania, Bulgaria, Spain), while it involves different groups of citizens around the project events, for a total of at least 890 direct participants and 1.500 indirect participants. Each partner has developed its own strategy to involve the local communities.
The common path that starts from the general need of improving the Green Deal overall knowledge and brings each partner to take the lead of one sectoral area and to give a contribution to the Green Deal implementation from a local perspective. The common path is marked by seven international events and one on-line event.
Main outputs produced are:
- information material on Green Deal
- one Local Green Deal Action Plan per partner
- funding schemes
- video reportage’s
