The European Green Week 2021 will be dedicated to 'zero pollution ambition’. If you want to be part of the EU Green Week and showcase the achievements of your project or organisation to a wider audience, then do not hesitate to register an event you are planning between 3 May and 13 June 2021 as an EU Green Week partner event!
Pollution affects everybody – through the air we breathe, the water we drink, or the land we grow our food on. That is why the European Green Week 2021 will focus on the ‘zero pollution ambition’, but will also take a look at other relevant European Green Deal initiatives, such the climate initiatives, the upcoming Chemicals Strategy, as well as initiatives in the field of energy, industry, mobility, agriculture, fisheries, health, and biodiversity.
Events
Participating in the EU Green Week 2021 will be particularly interesting to projects which are currently taking part in Interreg Euregio Meuse-Rhine within the priority axis "Innovation" or "Economy", but also for organisations who are planning to apply for the next programme period within the priority "Greener EMR".
Partner events: 3 May - 13 June, across Europe
If you are planning an event between 3 May and 13 June 2021 or would like to organise one, why not register it as an EU Green Week partner event? Any type of event is eligible, be it a workshop, a guided tour, an exhibition, a fair, an open day, or an online event, etc.
