Green pathways: Exploring Greece’s and Albania’s sustainability and implementation practices

Exploring Greece’s and Albania’s sustainability and implementation practices

Författare

Summary, in English

This research explores the state of sustainability and the implementation of sustainable practices in Albania and Greece. Specifically, it examines how municipalities have utilized EU green funding and how they raise awareness about sustainability within their local communities. Qualitative interviews were conducted with city officials from the municipalities of Lushnje and Vlora in Albania, as well as Kalamata and Trifilia in Greece. The interviews were coded and analyzed using theoretical frameworks in sustainability and sustainable development. The findings reveal that city officials not only understand the importance of sustainability but also actively promote and implement it through initiatives aimed at improving local infrastructure, waste management, and biodiversity. Despite recognizing the challenges that hinder sustainable development, they succeed in raising awareness through educational programs, particularly those involving the youth.
