Gozo, together with 28 other cities, has been selected to join the Pilot Cities Programme, which is funded by the European Union.
Gozo, through the Gozo Regional Development Authority, will be participating in a multi-city pilot activity along with the Austrian city of Klagenfurt and the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, which project bears the name – Climate Funding 4 Cities.
The Authority explained that through this project, sustainable climate funding will be explored, along with climate awareness measures.
It added that Gozo will in particular be emphasising climate change awareness, the modal shift and sustainable mobility among school children and the general public, “in order to instill and enhance climate-friendly behaviour.”
