To mark the European Day of Sustainable Communities 2018, ECOLISE launched a short booklet on community-led action in Europe, ‘Local, community-led: a new future unfolding’.
You can read and download it here.
The booklet was launched at our co-hosted conference ‘Citizens and municipalities: building sustainability through collaboration’.
