Practical guidance and good practices
To answer the needs of local authorities to finding practical examples and tools, we have developed numerous guidebooks, toolkits and databases with our partners. The different toolkits offer guidance and practically proven methods to support the municipalities’ work with sustainability issues.

Furthermore, we provide a variety of tools such as videos and games that can be used in environmental awareness-raising.
