Ljubljana, European Green Capital 2016

Ljubljana received the flattering title of the European Green Capital 2016 in Copenhagen in 2014. The jury of experts believes we have introduced most alterations in the shortest period of time for the city's sustainable development and are successful in the following two aspects: preserving the city's green identity and implementing sustainable projects to improve the quality of life in the city. Recognition from the European Commission is not merely a confirmation of our work so far, it also serves as motivation for new challenges.
