Cooperation for a Green Future:

After the meeting, the foundations of new international collaborations and projects were laid.

At the meeting, the transition to a circular economy, zero waste, conservation of natural wealth, sustainable transportation, energy, transformation in rural areas, agriculture and production, achieving a neutral climate, green technologies to be implemented in industry, fifth generation university models to be implemented in education, and the cooperation, work and international solidarity models that need to be established between decision-makers and the society that will implement and shape all these processes were discussed within the scope of the “European Green Deal” signed in 2019, to which our country is also a party.

After the meeting, the newly established Supercritical Carbon Extraction Facility in Gölhisar by Orallar Group in line with green technologies was visited and information was provided to the participants.
