The GREEN-WIN project aims to develop and disseminate win-win strategies for sustainability and climate action by improving our understanding of their linkages, trade-offs and implementation barriers.
The GREEN-WIN project is producing evidence-based policy packages to help mobilize and redirect financial resources and institutional frameworks towards green growth pathways, with a particular focus on coastal zone flood risk management, urban transformation and energy poverty eradication.
The final conference of the GREEN-WIN project will be held at the Casa Convalescència (http://www.uab-casaconvalescencia.org/en/) in Barcelona, 13 – 14 March, 2018.

“An often-raised issue is how to mobilize private capital for sustainable investments. Generically, this depends on the availability, and viability, of sustainable business models. Only if they exist, or can be developed, in sufficient size and numbers, private capital will make a difference. This will be one key focus of GREEN-WIN.”
