#EPIConference

#WorldEnvironmentDay reminds us that more and more often people migrate for causes related with climate change. Migration is an #adaptationstrategy but cannot be the only solution.
🌷EU Nature Restauration Law is so much RELEVANT to #ProtectOurPlanet and act now!🔊

IncluCities was a project intertwining practices and policies. During the 3ys we bridged the gap between the local and EU policy making (or at least we tried 😊)

This is the fruit of 3y work with #localgov in 6 EU Member States and it was presented in Toronto last week by our pm🗣️👇🏼 at York University Whole-Comm Project

The discussions were about participation, representation and sense of belonging 🫂

SDGs are implemented locally🌇 when creating inclusive communities and increase the sense of belonging to a space that becomes a place

AMIF funds are only one tool in the belt of EC to reach a meaningful participation of migrants and refugees
With #IncluCities Council of European Municipalities and Regions tried to do its bit to bridge the gap between #localgov and newcomers
