• Slovenian Presidency to the Bureau of the Water Convention 2024–2027

  2024 Underway

  The Meeting of the Parties to the Water Convention, organised every three years, is a crucial milestone for the global water community and the Water Convention as it is the largest and only international event driving the transboundary water cooperation agenda at the global level. The tenth session of the Meeting of the Parties to the Water Convention (MoP 10) was taking place in Ljubljana (Slovenia) from 23 to 25 October 2024.

• Circular land management

  2023 Underway

  Circular land management is about translating the principles of the circular economy into spatial development. Rather than abandoning built structures, it encourages their re-use, the renovation of buildings and built-up land. This approach reduces negative impacts on the environment and contributes to the conservation of natural resources.

• LIFE RESTART

  2021 Underway

  The project focuses on overcoming barriers to meeting EU recycling targets and achieving full implementation of the Waste Management and Waste Prevention Programme of the Republic of Slovenia.
  The project introduces an integrated set of complementary technical, digital, environmental, social and circular solutions to unlock the full potential of the programme, maximise material self-sufficiency and achieve increased circular returns in the waste and resource sector.
