  • C-Change: The Final Word

    “The climate and ecological crisis is a systemic issue, rooted in global economic, social, cultural and value systems locking in unsustainable consumption, inequality and a disconnection from nature.  

    Policies, technology and investment alone will not be enough to address it - to protect what we love, to survive and to thrive. We need hearts, minds and a shift in our cultural values”

  • BeePathNet tools for EU cities to evolve into Bee-friendly

    After a two-year journey BeePathNet resulted in successful urban beekeeping development in Amarante (Portugal), Bydgoszcz (Poland), Cesena (Italy), Hegyvidék – XII District of Budapest (Hungary) and Nea Propontida (Greece) due to the transfer of Ljubljana’s BEE PATH good practice. We collected our good practices, innovative events and approaches in the final book, guidelines, newsletters and learning logs, so others can learn from them. The transfer of the BeePathNet initiative to additional four EU cities is URBACT’s special award for our hard work and all the “honey” we put in the preservation of the environment that we share with the bees.
