Launch of the European Partnership

on Integrated Urban Sustainability Management

Saturday 4 June 2011, 18.30

Gustav Stresemann Institut (GSI)

Bonn, Germany

The European Partnership Launch will take place within the framework of the Resilient Cities 2011 Conference. Participation in the launch is free of charge and will begin with a joint networking dinner with Resilient Cities participants, at 18:30 in the GSI Restaurant, followed by an exclusive cocktail at 19:30 to celebrate the official launch of the European Partnership.

Adopting an integrated approach is one of the cornerstones for local sustainability. Numerous national and international policies claim for such an approach to increase the effectiveness in the implementation of Sustainable Development. The objective of the CHAMP project is to train and support local and regional authorities in implementing the Integrated Management System (IMS) for climate change mitigation and adaptation. To promote the IMS on a European level, a European Partnership for Integrated Sustainability Management is being launched in June!

The European Partnership aims to further the goals of CHAMP and serves as a competence network for exchange and knowledge growth. It will provide members with information material and training opportunities and increase the interaction among members and National Training Hubs, as well as within existing campaigns and EU initiatives. The Partnership targets organizations that can facilitate and train local authorities in using the Integrated Management System, but it also welcomes interested local and regional authorities.
