  • Citizen Engagement in Vilnius' Green Transition

    Vilnius is turning community ideas into real action – from small gardens to shared fridges and tool libraries. The work shows how local people and neighbourhoods can help make the city greener. It brings together residents, NGOs, and the municipality to share resources, reduce waste, and improve public spaces. With inspiration from other European cities and the Green Capital year, Vilnius is ready to grow stronger community projects – showing how a climate-friendly city is being built together with its people.

  • Citizen Engagement in Pombal's Green Transition

    Pombal is turning its Historic Centre into a living laboratory for sustainability — and citizens are at the heart of this transformation. Through the URBACT COPE network, residents, shop owners, local associations, and municipal teams have co-created solutions for greener public spaces, energy-efficient homes, and sustainable mobility. From planting trees and installing shading structures to testing pedestrian-friendly streets and creating reward systems for eco-friendly behaviors, every action reflects a shared vision: a vibrant, inclusive, and climate-resilient city. By combining open governance, adaptive leadership, and community-driven innovation, Pombal proves that the green transition starts locally — with people shaping the future of their own streets.
