Environment and Spatial Planning, organized a very well received international
conference Štanjel 2020.
At the end of September, young people at the Aquarium in Piran and at the
building of the Maritime Administration in Koper drew attention to the probable
future catastrophic consequences of the action of the sea and water if we
are unable to respond actively to this burning challenge. In Izola, such a sign
was placed in the courtyard of Rex Gallery in 2019.
OPPORTUNITIES OF THE EUROPEAN GREEN DEAL
The second half of Mediterranean Coast and Macro-regional Strategies Week
kicked off with a two-day EUSAIR virtual workshop entitled “Opportunities of
a Green Deal for Macro-Regions”.
The central goal of the EU Green Deal is gradually to transform the European Union
into an energy-balanced, economically efficient and competitive society. The European
concept of green infrastructure, an international standard for modern spatial
planning, has been used since 2013, but the European Commission agrees that the
concept is not sufficiently used in the development of maritime spatial plans.
