At the end of the training, attendees shared their views and suggestions, contributing to Bornova’s sustainable future vision.

What Is the STORMLOG Project About?

Supported by the European Union, the STORMLOG Project aims to enable local governments to take on more effective roles in the fight against the climate crisis. As part of the project, Bornova Municipality is enhancing its institutional capacity and taking steps to raise public awareness. Through training sessions, workshops, and policy development processes, Bornova aims to establish a climate-friendly city model.

Mayor Eşki: “We will start climate justice at the local level”

“The climate crisis requires action not only at the global level but also at the local level. That’s why raising awareness among our institutions and citizens about climate change is a priority for us in Bornova. The Stormlog Project is a significant step in strengthening Bornova’s sustainability vision. We will initiate climate justice from the local level.”
