Go GreeNish is a pioneering project aimed at developing the first Green City Concept for Niš, advancing sustainable urban development in southern Serbia. Funded by the BACID program and supported by the Austrian Institute of Ecology, the initiative empowered TEAM and local stakeholders with knowledge and tools for greener, more inclusive urban planning. Through Agenda 2030 training, expert consultancy, and workshops, the project strengthened local capacities and resulted in a draft Green City Concept Note supported by best practices. Go GreeNish serves as a model for cities across the Western Balkans, promoting transformation aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Funded by the European Union through the BACID program (Building Administrative Capacities in the Danube Region and Western Balkans), the project aimed to equip local actors with the knowledge and tools to begin transforming Niš into a greener, more inclusive, and more resilient city.
The GO! GreeNiš project was designed to: Build local capacity for implementing the Green City concept; Provide a comprehensive understanding of sustainable urban development; Train key actors on how to involve relevant stakeholders in long-term urban transformation efforts
GO! GreeNiš is more than a project initiative—it’s a model for other cities in the Western Balkans and Danube Region. By combining training, research, and action planning, the project empowers cities like Niš to align with the UN’s Agenda 2030 and take meaningful steps toward environmental sustainability.
