The Cyprus Centre for Environmental Research and Education (CYCERE) recognizing that all Cities and Communities can make a real contribution to sustainable development, the improvement of living quality of life and the \u00a0protection of the environment, and that their actions have a direct or indirect impact on the local, regional and as an extension, the global environment, aims at the emergence of Green Cities or Green Communities in Cyprus, which have adopted and developed environmentally friendly policies and practices.<\/span><\/p>\n

We believe the improvement of the urban environment of Cypriot cities and communities can be achieved through local initiatives such as increasing green areas, gardens and parks, sustainable waste management, environmental awareness and education, energy saving and the use of Renewable Sources of Energy, Sustainable Translocation and Transportation and other initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n
