Greenpeace-Bulgaria is organizing a challenge called “Green Recovery”. Because the current crisis is also an opportunity to move into the future with new practices, not to lock ourselves into the past. The aim is to open a conversation on the topic and to stimulate the discussion on how society and the economy can continue in a new direction, based on green and sustainable development.
The participation of more sane people with ideas and expertise in various fields is needed to achieve the most meaningful actions and a way out of the crisis. For example, environmental protection and biodiversity, water resources, digital technologies and innovations, education, healthcare, urban development, art, entrepreneurship and others.
Greenpeace expects your author’s idea, vision or project on how to recover from the crisis greenly and forward-looking. The initiative aims to provoke visionary thinking and to gather quality solutions to current and future problems and to provide an opportunity and a platform for people with ideas to develop them, share them and find like-minded people.
Ideas can focus on improving the urban environment, the energy system and the use of renewables, the circular economy and many other topics related to green recovery.
