On September 20th, a conference titled “Collaboration Between the Lithuanian Green Municipalities Network and Turkey” took place in the Seimas Constitution Hall. The conference was organized by the temporary parliamentary group “Green Municipalities – 2030” in collaboration with the Lithuanian Energy Institute. The event was attended by a delegation from Turkey, members of the Seimas (Lithuanian Parliament), coordinators of Green Municipalities, as well as representatives from the fields of science and business.
The Turkish delegation presented examples of best practices from the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality. Other conference participants gave presentations on topics such as green cities, climate neutrality, quarterly renovations, new technologies, and digitization. Additionally, European Union projects and opportunities for municipalities to apply for funding were presented.
