Partners from ICLEI Member Aalborg (Denmark) and the City of Amsterdam (the Netherlands), ICLEI Europe, the Network for Sustainable Business Development in Aalborg, and MKB Amsterdam are now inviting all interested to take stock, share and discuss their experiences from the project.  

They will take a look at the process for setting up and implementing Local Green Deals, which the partners have developed based on and further deepening the steps of the ICC blueprint. The cities will also illustrate their approach by presenting some of the deals they have closed with SMEs in the past months.

Local Green Deals (LGDs) are the local response to the European Green Deal. A Local Green Deal (LGD) is a new approach to accelerate the transformation towards sustainability, based on the principles of good governance, policy integration, partnership with local stakeholders and action. The implementation of LGDs supports SMEs to advance their business models sustainably. This benefits both the robustness of their business models, but also the actual individuals working in the local SMEs.
