The ICLEI Europe Brussels Office organises this series of meetings called Breakfast at Sustainability's (B@S), hosted by local, regional and national governments represented in Brussels. Speakers of the past editions typically included representatives from the European Parliament and the European Commission, with good practices shared by European cities.
B@S takes place multiple times per year and focuses on Europe’s leading, ongoing urban sustainability discussions. With participants and speakers mainly joining from Brussels, B@S is one of ICLEI's most climate friendly and prolific event series. For more information, or if you are a city interested in hosting a strategically visible B@S through your representations, contact: brussels-office@iclei.org.

The 46th edition of ICLEI’s flagship Breakfast at Sustainability series will highlight how urban policies can produce healthier outcomes for citizens, with a special focus on the role of urban lighting. The event will take place on 29 January 2025 from 09:30 – 12:30 CET at ICLEI’s office in Brussels (Belgium).
The event will highlight how health, wellbeing and inclusivity can be integrated into European urban planning policies to improve the quality of life in cities. Building on the experiences of the EU-funded ENLIGHTENme project, participants will also learn more about the role of innovative urban lighting in fostering safer and healthier urban environments in the context of the EU’s sustainability goals.
Aiming to research, develop and validate innovative solutions to support innovative urban lighting policies and guidance for better health in cities throughout Europe, the ENLIGHTENme project collected evidence about how urban lighting impacts human health and wellbeing. Based on examples from cities such as Tartu (Estonia), Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and Bologna (Italy) the project will show how its work fits broader European efforts to achieve healthier outcomes for its citizens.
