The European GreenMove Program, part of the European Union’s Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) program, is holding its third European meeting in the Adriatic. The meeting, hosted by the Municipality of Podstrana in Croatia, will bring together the 17 partners of the consortium. The aim is to explore the relationship between sustainable tourism and mobility in rural areas.
The meeting will address the topic: “Sustainable tourism and mobility in rural areas: Environmentally friendly transport options.”
Objectives and Outlook of the 3rd Meeting
The GreenMove consortium is a joint effort for sustainability, bringing together 17 organizations from 16 countries across Europe. From the Mediterranean to the Baltic and from Southeast to Central Europe, this diverse network acts as a dynamic hub for the exchange of knowledge, innovative practices, and expertise in the field of sustainable mobility.
The main objective of the project is to strengthen dialogue between public authorities, civil society organizations, and international actors in order to improve mobility, reduce pollution, and promote sustainable development in rural and coastal areas.
