Mediterranean coastal cities and local authorities are invited to submit their applications for the fifth edition of the Istanbul Environment Friendly City Award (IEFCA).
The deadline for the submission of applications is 15th April 2025
Funded by the Government of Turkey, IEFCA was created in the framework of the Mediterranean Strategy for Sustainable Development (MSSD) to recognize efforts of coastal cities in promoting sustainable development.
Both small towns and metropolitan agglomerations located along the Mediterranean coast are invited to apply by demonstrating concrete steps taken and progress achieved to protect the environment, improve the quality of life and promote sustainable development.
Cities and local authorities have an important role to play to entrench sustainability in the Mediterranean at a time when we aspire to building back greener and to achieving a green renaissance in the region.
