• The PROGRESS Interreg Europe project organises its 2nd event to show and share good practices on ecosystem services from 6 EU territories. On-line event on 11.1.2021.
  
  
• Ecosystem services are the goods and services of nature that contribute to human well-being. Identifying, evaluating, and applying the ecosystem services approach is key to the future of European societies.
  
  
• The workshop on 11.1.2021. is organised by CREAF (Catalonia-Spain) with support by project partners from Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, and Romania.

Participation to this 2nd workshop is free and targeted to policy and decision makers who can improve their practise with PROGRESS methodologies. The overarching theme of the workshop will be integrating ecosystem management challenges in Planning at all scales (national, regional local). Over the last 6 months project partners have analysed and discussed with their stakeholder networks that are following-up PROGRESS and identified Good Practices following the Interreg Europe GP models. “The protection of environment is one of the most important tasks of the County Council, as it is a keystone of our future”, says Mr. Tamás Fehérvári, President of the General Assembly of the Tolna County Council.
