Bulgaria’s Journey to Sustainability: Embracing the 3 Seas Initiative

Bulgaria is committed to sustainable living with the Three Seas Initiative. With support from the EU and projects like the “Green 3 Seas Initiative for Youth,” Bulgaria is not only tackling today’s challenges but also building a sustainable legacy for the future.

Bulgaria, situated in the heart of the Three Seas region, is making big strides towards sustainable living. The country is working on different ways to tackle environmental issues and encourage sustainable practices.

Using More Renewable Energy:

Bulgaria is doing well in using more renewable energy like wind and solar power. They’re investing in projects like wind farms and solar parks to reduce pollution and be less dependent on traditional energy sources.

Protecting Nature:

Preserving biodiversity is a big focus. Bulgaria is taking steps to safeguard unique natural spots, such as the Pirin and Rila National Parks. This not only protects Bulgaria’s natural beauty but also contributes to the wider European effort to save diverse ecosystems.

Bulgaria is getting support from the EU, which is crucial for its sustainability plans.

Getting Help from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF):

The ERDF gives money to support projects that help the economy, society, and the environment. Bulgaria uses this funding for projects like making transportation more eco-friendly and creating energy-efficient cities.

Being Part of Horizon Europe:

Bulgaria is part of Horizon Europe, an EU program that supports research and innovation for environmental sustainability. This helps Bulgarian researchers and institutions contribute to global efforts to solve environmental problems.

The “Green 3 Seas Initiative for Youth,” a project with Social Hub, is also playing a big part in Bulgaria’s sustainability journey.

Teaching Young People:

This project teaches young people about sustainable practices, why it’s essential to protect the environment, and how they can be responsible citizens. It’s helping to create a new generation of environmentally aware leaders.

Working Together Across Borders:

The Three Seas Initiative for Youth encourages collaboration between young people from different countries. Bulgarian youth can share ideas and learn from others, creating a network of young leaders committed to making positive environmental changes.
