A look back at November 2015...

November was for decentralised cooperation the month that led to COP21, the world conference on climate change, in Paris. PLATFORMA’s work focused on giving decentralised cooperation the highest possible profile ahead of COP21.

This materialised in a campaign on Euractiv, where, each day of the week, a climate-related project between cities and regions was presented ahead of the Climate Summit for Local Leaders. Moreover, our team was active both on social media and on the spot.

You will hear more about PLATFORMA and climate change in a few weeks as we will produce a special edition of our monthly newsletter, entirely devoted to the outcome of COP21 for decentralised cooperation. In the meantime, the whole PLATFORMA team wishes you a great year, full of projects and debates on development issues!
