Welcome"Urban Green Days events are a shared basis to promote environmental wellbeing to the large variety of urban societies in Europe" Ms. Zita Tverkute, City of Panevezys, Lithuania Welcome to the Urban Green Days web site! All European cities and towns were invited to join the expanding European Commission initiative, Urban Green Days (UGD) which took place around the days of the Brussels European Green Week (31 May to 3 June 2005) and coincided with World Environment Day (5 June 2005). UGD 2005 particularly highlighted climate change. Urban Green Days’ decentralised events aimed to inspire participants to improve the environment's quality by implementing changes in behaviour and providing information and exchange opportunities about current and future environmental work of local governments. UGD events were different from city to city. Learn more about how your city or town benefitted on the local and European level from UGD by clicking here!
