Towards local sustainability in Central and Eastern Europe
A regional roundtable conference to develop local sustainability in Central and Eastern Europe will be held in Sofia, Bulgaria on 12-15 November. Around 250 delegates from local government, environmental
non-government organisations and other groups are expected to attend the session, which is organised within the European Sustainable Cities and Towns Campaign. Representatives will discuss how to develop a European movement for local sustainability in the East, how local government can prepare for the environmental requirements of the European Union and how environmental partnerships can be strengthened between municipalities in West and East.
Training in environmental management will be specifically addressed during one of the roundtables to be held at the event. Training needs and projects will be identified to assist local authorities and other players in Local Agenda 21 to develop their knowledge and skills.
