 SUSTOUR - Sustainable Tourism - An integrated approach to the development of sustainable tourism products
Location of Activities: Georgia, Moldova,
Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector: Sustainable Tourism
Lead Partner:
Province of Venice (Italy);
Contact: Claudia POLES - email: claudia.poles@artigianisandona.it
Tourism is an increasingly significant part of the Georgian and Moldavian economy. In looking to further develop this, Kutaisi in Georgia and Ungheni in Moldova are mindful of the need to do so in a way that is sustainable and environmentally friendly. By this is meant finding a balance between the needs of the visitor, the environment and the host community for current as well as future generations. |
 SUD - Sustainable Urban Development
Location of Activities: Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine,
Theme: Economic Development and Social Inclusion
Sector: Good Governance
Lead Partner:
Municipality of Ukrainka (Ukraine);
Contact: Valentyna POLTAVETS - email: ukrainka_town@ukr.net
Ukraine has 349 small depressed towns with a population of 10.000- 50.000, comprising 22% of the population. There are 60 towns of this kind in Belarus. In Georgia, around 43% of the entire population resides in small towns. These towns tend to have a single industry and in general a lack of diversity and low productivity, resulting in considerable poverty, tension and depression. This has resulted in growing numbers of vulnerable and marginalized people. |
 Save WHL Cities War Free World Heritage Listed Cities
Location of Activities: Georgia, Lebanon,
Theme: Good Governance and Urban Development Policy
Sector: Cultural Heritage
Lead Partner:
Council of the United Municipalities of Jbail-Byblos (Lebanon);
Contact: Rachid CHAMOUN - email: rchamoun@lau.edu.lb;
Claudio Cimino - email: c.cimino@eyeonculture.net
Both Byblos (Lebanon) and Mtskheta (Georgia) are World Heritage Listed (WHL) cities which have recently been threatened by the ravages of war. Despite the fact that WHL sites have a significant impact on the image of countries and local economies, few measures are put in place to safeguard them. In part this is due to a lack of awareness of civil and military concerned authorities (and even less concern is shown by attacking forces) of the provisions of 1954 Hague Convention and its two Protocols. An even more significant impacting factor is the lack of structures, guidelines, and capacity to develop appropriate policies, and prepare and implement risk management plans. |
 MODEL: Management Of Domains related to Energy in Local authorities
Location of Activities: Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine,
Theme: Environmental Sustainability
Sector: Energy Efficiency
Lead Partner:
Municipality of Lviv (Ukraine);
Contact: Serhiy Kiral - email: serhiy.kiral@city-adm.lviv.ua;
Vasylyna Horban - email: v_horban@city-adm.lviv.ua
In 2008 the EU adopted its Climate and Energy Package (CEP). CEP calls for cutting CO2 emissions, and increasing energy efficiency and use of energy from renewable sources, all by 20% over 1990 levels (20-20-20). In order to achieve these goals on a larger level, it is important that ENPI countries and local authorities (LAs) commit and contribute to common values and principles. In the ENPI Eastern countries, artificially low energy prices have resulted in a poor culture of energy efficiency. |
