Conference Transition Opportunities - Kyustendil

On April 18, 2024, "Brand Media Bulgaria" is organising a public event within the framework of the EU-funded project "Transition Opportunities". The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the contribution of the European Union's cohesion policy, the Just Transition Fund and the European Recovery Plan to ensure a smooth and fair transition to a climate-neutral economy of the Bulgarian regions, which will be the most affected by the transformation.

With this event, we want to continue to inform and engage the local community in the dialogue on the transformation of the economy towards carbon neutrality, raise awareness and present the positive results of cohesion policy measures in Kyustendil region.

The conference will be attended by representatives of the central, local and municipal administrations, the governing bodies of various financing programs, the Fund of Funds, representatives of employers and trade unions, as well as business and non-governmental organizations. They will provide clarity on the upcoming changes related to the transformation to a carbon neutral economy in Kyustendil region and explain the existing opportunities for obtaining funding. The special focus will be on financing projects in the context of the implementation of the Territorial Plan for a just transition.

Within the framework of the event, the results of a sociological survey prepared by the Research Center "Trend" on behalf of "Brand Media Bulgaria" will be presented, which shows the level of awareness of local citizens about the cohesion policy, the Just Transition Fund and the Recovery Plan of Europe and identify what are the needs and concerns of people in the Kyustendil region, in view of the upcoming changes.
