Bristol has been awarded the title of the European Green Capital for 2015! After making the final shortlist three times, and coming in as runner-up last year we are delighted with this well-deserved win!
The tough competition which was held in Nantes, France, involved assessment against twelve criteria including innovation and sustainable employment, energy performance, water consumption, waste treatment and climate change. We’re sure all of the cyclists around Bristol must have had something to do with it as well!
Liz Zeidler from the Bristol Green Capital Partnership said “So much work has been put in by so many people across this city, from top to bottom. They knew what a difference it’s going to make to our city, to our children’s future, to the economy – all the things that matter to people in this city.”
Well done Bristol, keep it up!
