In partnership with Ljubljana Forum city creation process - 2020 towards 2021

Partnerships count! In the Post-COVID-19 times collaboration among different international networks where change-makers collaborate, became even more impactful. The unique value of such cooperations is to bridge top-down and bottom-up approaches to governance, evaluate existing practices and tools, and encourage stakeholders to co-create solutions for the green recovery on city, regional, national and international levels.
