City Pairs Turning Words into Action

The TBestC project aims at transferring good environmental practices between five city couples in the Baltic Sea region. This will be done through in-depth cooperation between the city pairs and financial and other support from the UBC EnvCom secretariat. The project also aims at disseminating and promoting municipal good practices in the region in the project themes: Air Quality, Bio-diversity, Energy, Environmental Health and Information and Education.

On the occasion of launching the project and starting the city coupling process UBC EnvCom is inviting all UBC member cities to the Launch seminar in Kaunas, Lithuania the 22-24 May. A part from the crucial city-matching process the event will be attended by a number of highly interesting guest experts from the Baltic Sea Region as well as the United States (through our co-operation with the U.S. Baltic Sea Regional Environmental Office). Also EC AT Lithuania, UNEP Grid Arendal and Healthy Cities are cooperating on the seminar and the project. Cities interested in participating in the project should submit an application form before June 15. Welcome with your city application!
