Baltic Cities Environmental Award 2005

The UBC has the honour of inviting its member cities to The Baltic Cities Environmental Award 2005, on the occasion of the VIII UBC General Conference, "Towards a New Baltic Sea Agenda" in Turku 29 September -1 October 2005.

The theme of the Baltic Environmental Award 2005 will be" Sustainable Transport and Mobility". The theme envisages one of the greatest challenges faced by the Baltic Sea Region cities.

The intention with the Award, that is arranged every second year, is to encourage the cities in the Baltic Sea Region to develop their administration and services in an innovative way for the good of the whole municipality and its citizens.

The Award Jury will select the winner of the Award 2005. The winning city will be presented with an honorary award (the diploma and the grant of 5000 Euro) during the festive ceremony at the Turku Castle during the General Conference. The grant is kindly donated by the Danish company, Per Aarsleff A/S.

The guidelines for the award are available in the Award leaflet and can be downloaded together with the Award form (optional) at the UBC's website. The application should arrive the latest on 15 August to the UBC Commission on Environment Secretariat.
