Contesto
|
21 |
The European Green Capital Award is the outcome of an initiative taken by cities with a green vision.
|
Il premio "Capitale verde europea" è il risultato di una proposta avanzata da città con una grande sensibilità ecologica.
|
22 |
The concept was originally conceived at a meeting in Tallinn, Estonia, held on 15 May 2006, at the initiative of Mr Jüri Ratas, former Mayor of Tallinn, where 15 European cities and the Association of Estonian cities signed a joint Memorandum of Understanding on the establishment of such an award.
|
Tale proposta è stata inizialmente formulata in occasione di un incontro svoltosi a Tallinn (Estonia) il 15 maggio 2006, su iniziativa dell’ex-sindaco della città Jüri Ratas, quando 15 città europee e l’Associazione delle città estoni hanno firmato un memorandum di intesa sull’istituzione del premio.
|
23 |
Four cities - Stockholm, Hamburg, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Nantes - have been awarded the prestigious title so far, from 2010 to 2013 respectively.

Fra il 2010 e il 2013 sono state finora quattro le città vincitrici di questo titolo prestigioso, nell’ordine Stoccolma, Amburgo, Victoria-Gasteiz e Nantes.

Europe is now an essentially urban society, with three out of four Europeans living in towns and cities.
|
L’Europa di oggi è una società urbana in cui i tre quarti degli abitanti vivono in città e cittadine.
|
26 |
Most of the environmental challenges facing our society originate from urban areas but it is also these urban areas that bring together the commitment and innovation needed to resolve them.
|
La maggior parte delle sfide ambientali che dobbiamo affrontare trae origine dalle zone urbane ma sono queste stesse zone che riuniscono l’innovazione e l’impegno necessari per risolverle.
|
27 |
The European Green Capital Award was conceived as an initiative to promote and reward efforts, to spur cities to commit to further action, and to showcase and encourage exchange of best practice among European cities.
|
Il premio "Capitale verde europea" è stato concepito come un’iniziativa intesa a promuovere e ricompensare l’impegno, spronare le città a varare nuove azioni, illustrare le migliori pratiche e incoraggiarne lo scambio fra le città europee.
|
28 |
In addition to inspiring other cities, this increased profile will serve to enhance the winning city’s reputation and attractiveness as a destination for people to visit, work and live in.
|
Oltre al ruolo ispiratore, questo rinnovato profilo servirà a rafforzare la reputazione della città vincitrice, facendone una destinazione interessante sotto il profilo turistico, lavorativo e abitativo.
