Will your city be the European Green Capital in 2018?

The race for the 2018 European Green Capital title has begun! Clean air, good waste management, high recycling rates, water conservation measures, parks, pollution-free environments, high quality urban living and sustainable ideas are all aspects of what makes a European Green Capital 'Fit for life'. Each year a European city is appointed European Green Capital by a panel of environmental experts and a jury. The award is given to a European city which demonstrates a well-established record of achieving high environmental standards and commits to ongoing and ambitious goals for future environmental improvement and sustainable development. The European Green Capital also acts as a role model to inspire and promote best practices to other European cities
