Description
Visitors could pass by our stand to know more about our innovative projects focused on water resilience, highlighting cutting-edge solutions and best practices for sustainable water management. There were also groundbreaking initiatives aimed at addressing water challenges and ensuring a resilient future in the EU:
Two of the LIFE projects present at the stand (LIFE SPARC and LIFE Ebro Resilience) also participated in the session Restoring and protecting a broken water cycle. Besides, the LIFE Awards, an event that recognises the most successful projects implemented under the LIFE programme, took place on 30 May.
The ‘Pledging Tree’, a 2-meters-tall flat wooden structure, was placed next to CINEA’s stand as a symbol of collective hopes for a greener future. Visitors could find pens and paper tags available next to the tree, encouraging them to jot down a personal environmental pledge they intend to undertake in the upcoming year and affix them to the tree. Online participants also had the opportunity to contribute to the LIFE Awards 2024 by expressing their commitment to the environment with the hashtag #LIFEAwards24 on social media. The commitments received were printed and displayed on the tree. All pledges were collected after the event, with selected ones shared during the Awards Ceremony.
