EU Green Week 2021

The European Green Week 2021 will be dedicated to the EU Action Plan toward a Zero Pollution Ambition which is a key element of the European Green Deal. Four broad fields of action are identified to each of which one day is dedicated: Health, Biodiversity and Ecosystems, Production and Consumption, and Enabling change in the EU and abroad. Being a topic of cross-cutting dimensions, the transformation of food systems will be discussed in various contexts. Especially the shift towards Green Cities constitutes an important element of fighting pollution, with urban food production promising to decrease delivery routes, improve air quality and restore biodiversity. The event will be an opportunity to engage with all stakeholders and interested citizens on how regional food system can contribute to the reduction of pollution and a toxic-free environment.
