How can European policies and local government initiatives contribute to a more sustainable future? And what is the role of citizens in this effort?
These questions will be the focus of the hybrid workshop “From Climate Change to Climate Sustainability,” organized by ALPHA Cyprus on Thursday, July 2, at 7:00 p.m., at Domes Sergiou on Skarinou Street. The event will be open to in-person and online participation.
The workshop will feature a presentation of the Aradippou Municipality’s plan to strengthen the city’s resilience to the impacts of climate change through the European Pathways2Resilience program. Efi Zikouli, a representative of the Municipality of Aradippou, will discuss the actions and long-term planning that can support a more sustainable urban environment.
Tassos Zografos, a representative of the European SENSOR project and Aspon Consulting, will present data on European citizens’ perceptions of climate change and discuss European initiatives such as the European Green Deal, the New European Bauhaus, and Mission Cities. The discussion will also examine environmental legislation and the ways in which citizens can participate in environmental governance.
Michalis Hatzipantelas, MEP for DISY and the EPP, will deliver opening remarks.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their views. The live stream will allow those who cannot attend in person to watch and participate.
The workshop is part of the European program “European Parliament: Your Voice, Your Future,” implemented by ALPHA Cyprus with co-funding from the European Union. The program’s goal is to strengthen public dialogue on European issues that affect citizens’ daily lives.
