Istanbul, April 24-25 2016. As a part of ETNAR project 18 activists from 14 organizations have met in Istanbul to discuss environmental activism and EU accession process. They have compared experiences and conditions of environmental advocacy and legislation in Turkey, Western Balkans and Europe, focusing on climate change, energy and natural resources. They have discussed how we are using legal tools and participation mechanism of the investments banks. We hope this initial skill share will increase cooperation among civil society in Turkey and Western Balkans.
