The Municipality is also working on climate and energy-related initiatives, including the implementation of its Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP) and actions supporting energy efficiency, renewable energy, climate adaptation, sustainable mobility, green public spaces, and climate resilience. As a local authority, Bandırma Municipality can contribute to projects by providing a real-life urban environment for pilot activities, demonstrations, stakeholder engagement, community outreach, and testing of innovative approaches. We can also facilitate cooperation with relevant local stakeholders, including public institutions, educational institutions, civil society organisations, young people, and local businesses. Through Erasmus+ cooperation, Bandırma Municipality is interested in exchanging knowledge and good practices with European partners, strengthening the capacities of local stakeholders, and developing solutions that can be adapted to the local context and transferred to other communities.
