28.10.2024 – Above 80 people over 60 different organizations met and exchange during this year’s BESTbelt Pan-European Conference 2024 in Latvia. Participants were from countries along the European Green Belt and met to discuss and to strengthen the collaboration along EGB.
In scope of the conference a big focus was the EU-funded BESTbelt project, which provides small grants to organizations implementing projects along the European Green Belt.
MES participated presenting successful stories related to green jobs and sustainable development in the region Shar-Korab-Koritnik and received great feedback from colleagues from organizations across the European Green Belt.
In addition, presentations were given on many interesting and important topics for the European Green Belt, including the Nature Restoration Law, long distance cycling- and hiking trails or the inclusion of the German Green Belt on the tentative list for becoming a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Besides MES representatives, participants from best model projects in the region and protected areas were part of the conference as opportunity to learn and collaborate with similar organizations across Europe.
The conference was organized by EuroNatur and the European Green Belt Association.
