Dear UBC Friends,
We are very happy that so many have registered to our
meeting UBC Commission on Environment meeting in Sopot although the short
notice. If there is still some cities that would like to register you are
warmly welcome. We have extended the registration date until Monday the 30
of May. Attached is the invitation, draft agenda, registration form and
practical information.
Year 2004 was very eventful with the new member states entering the EU and
new projects and processes starting also in the UBC. The UBC Agenda 21
Action Programme 2004-2009 - Roadmap for Sustainable Baltic Cities - has
made a highly successful start. The programme has to date mobilised a
budget of over 6 Million euros in different projects and a comprehensive
survey of sustainable development in Baltic Cities has been carried out.
In Sopot we will be reporting on the survey - on the state and trends of
sustainability in Baltic Cities - as well as sharing information on
different new projects. We would like to strongly encourage you to take
this opportunity and contribute with your good ideas on how to continue
the exciting processes started and how to make use of the UBC EnvCom to
strengthen the cities' voice in the region and in EU. New activities and
projects are continuously in the pipeline and we need your input and
participation to make them as good and useful for the Baltic Cities as
possible.
Please, find here the Invitation
Letter / Introduction from the Mayor
of Sopot and the UBC EnvCom co-chairmen, the draft Programme/Agenda,
the registration form and practical
information. Please remember to register on the latest 25 May by
sending the filled in registration form to anna.granberg@turku.fi

We are looking forward to your seminal participation and innovative
contributions!
