FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE WE ARE HERE TOO PROJECT “WE ARE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECT”
CLIMATE CRISIS, we started to experience events that frighten us all: floods, tornadoes, droughts… The climate is changing and the world is warming, mostly due to human-induced reasons. Although 1.5 degrees of warming may not seem like a relatively big difference, the impact it has and will have is huge. The increase in greenhouse gas emissions causes irreversible pollution of resources such as water, soil and air. The preparations for the project we prepared as a team that believes in a sustainable future have been completed and we are now STARTING the training.
Supported by the Turkey-EU Green Future City Twinning Grant Program, which aims to create added value in the field of climate crisis, and coordinated by Buca Municipality, the “WE ARE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE PROJECT” activities, with reference number TTGS-II/119, are commencing. This project involves the participation of 21 municipalities from 6 different geographical regions of Turkey and from Europe, along with 1 NGO, and the contribution of all our municipalities’ stakeholders is highly valued.
