Description

The aim of the project is to build the capacity of civil society organisations (CSOs) and the existing climate network on to contribute to climate policy on local, national and EU levels. Many civil society organisations (CSOs) lack knowledge, capacity and a common voice to effectively participate in these discussions. In the framework of the project the following activities take place:
1. Development of the existing CSO climate network – better networking and training;
2. Simplifying the involvement in national and international climate policy development - during the project period a number of policy documents are being developed that have effect on climate policy. Effective participation in the development of these documents should result in positive climate and environmental impact;
3. Building the capacity of local level CSOs to participate in local and regional climate policy - skill and knowledge training for local communities, offering professional legal help for solving local climate related issues.
The project will be carried out in partnership with the Estonian Fund for Nature and Estonian Environmental Law Centre.
