Green Cities & Green Europe

Tallinn became the first European capital to offer free public transport to its citizens. This city has set an example through this promotion of sustainable transport, showing the way for other European capitals. Last but not least, the idea of a European Green Capital was originally conceived in Tallinn, at a meeting held in May 2006 on the initiative of the former City Mayor, Jüri Ratas. According to the European Green Capital Jury, Tallinn has shown a systemic approach in their transition towards sustainability with interlinked strategic goals for 2035, linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, the city is the only one of the finalist cities that has signed the Green City Accord.

2023 portfolio priorities: 

Priority will be given to candidates from the Baltic Countries, especially from people living in Estonia and speaking Estonian. 

Intersectionality

Human rights and climate change are very interconnected. Some groups are more affected than others. That’s why we are searching for you to demonstrate these differences and advocate how climate change is not only about the environment but it is also about us and basic human rights.

2023 portfolio priorities: 

Priority will be given to people who consider themselves part of these groups.
