UBC TALKS about green public procurement
Explore with us various approaches to green public procurement at the UBC TALKS webinar in November!
The UBC TALKS webinar on 26 November at 9.30–11.00 CET / 10.30–12.00 EET will explore various approaches to green public procurement and share best practices from the cities around the Baltic Sea. Chemicals, hazardous substances, single-use plastic – these are only some of the challenges that could be addressed through greener procurement practices. Join us and get inspired by different examples implemented in Helsinki, Tallinn, Riga, and Stockholm!
You will learn about different solutions, developed criteria and guidelines, as well as training opportunities for municipalities validated through the pilots in the Baltic Sea Region cities. The knowledge is brought to you through the power of transnational cooperation in the projects ChemClimCircle, NonHazCity3 and BALTIPLAST!
If you have any questions about this webinar and its practicalities, contact Mariia Andreeva.
