EcoCore focuses on accelerating the green transition in the industrial areas of partner cities. It aims to build the capacity of small cities in addressing climate change by promoting a green economy agenda and assisting local stakeholders, particularly businesses, in transitioning to low-carbon energy sources for transportation, heating and electricity. Network activities will create significant momentum for a green energy transition, especially in the work environments of the industrial areas of the partner cities.
