The National Association of Local Authorities of Georgia (NALAG) has launched a new international project, BRIGHT \u2013 \u201cBringing Regional actors Into (G)lobal community \u2013 driven actions Toward climate adaptation and resilient ecosystems in the Black Sea region\u201d (BSB00733).<\/p>\n
The project aims to strengthen the role of local and regional public authorities in Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, and T\u00fcrkiye in supporting the achievement of the European Union\u2019s long-term energy and climate objectives.<\/p>\n
BRIGHT addresses key challenges such as limited institutional capacity, lack of coordination, low stakeholder engagement, and restricted access to best practices and financial resources.<\/p>\n
The project focuses on 24 municipalities and envisages the selection of four pilot areas, where Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs) will be developed and implemented.<\/p>\n
Planned activities include policy analysis, exchange of best practices, digital twinning, organization of local forums, development of a practical Toolbox, support to pilot municipalities, training on accessing financial resources, and mobilization of local resources.<\/p>\n
At the end of the project, a final conference will be held in Varna, Bulgaria, where the achieved results will be presented and best practices will be shared to enhance climate resilience in the Black Sea region.<\/p>\n
The project is led by the Union of Bulgarian Black Sea Local Authorities (UBBSLA). Project partners include the Agency for Cross-Border Cooperation and European Integration (ACTIE), the National Association of Local Authorities of Georgia (NALAG), and the Eastern Black Sea Development Agency (DOKA).<\/p>\n
BRIGHT is implemented within the framework of the Interreg VI-B NEXT Black Sea Basin Programme and is funded by the European Union. It contributes to strengthening the capacities of local authorities, enhancing regional cooperation, and promoting the development of climate-resilient policies in the Black Sea region.<\/p>\n
