The European Commission has launched the search for the 2018 European Green Capital. The award is given to a European city that has demonstrated a well-established record of achieving high environmental standards and is committed to ongoing and ambitious goals for future sustainable development. Cities across Europe with more than 100.000 inhabitants are eligible to apply for the title.
In addition, smaller cities with a population between 20.000 and 100.000 can apply for the European Green Leaf 2016. It recognises towns and cities that demonstrate a strong environmental record, with a particular emphasis on efforts that engage citizens in environmental awareness, generate green growth and new jobs.
You can find all the information about the European Green Capital here and European Green Leaf 2016 here.
