🌍 Earth Day: Public Participation in Achieving Environmental and Climate Goals

Today is Earth Day. And no, it is not just another “green” date for collecting likes.

⏰ We start at 9:00.

📍 Ljubljana, Mission 100 Info Point (Pogačarjev trg 3)

Today we are opening a question that is often overlooked:

👉 Are we really involving the public – or are we simply informing them?

At the event Public Participation in Achieving Environmental and Climate Goals, we will discuss:

• What actually works when engaging people

• Where participation remains only on paper

• How communities take initiative

• Whether participation is a necessity or still a choice

💬 If we want to achieve climate goals, this will not happen through top-down approaches alone. Let Earth Day serve as a reminder that even small everyday decisions, when made together, can become a way of life that leads to a more sustainable future and a higher quality of life.
