The objectives of the European Green Leaf are threefold:     - To recognise cities that demonstrate a good environmental record and commitment to generating green growth;    - To encourage cities to actively develop citizens’ environmental awareness and involvement;    - To identify cities able to act as a ‘green ambassador’ and to encourage other cities to progress towards a better sustainability outcomes. The European Green Leaf is awarded each year by the European Commission in conjunction with the European Green Capital Award. Eight cities from seven countries across Europe applied for the pilot 2015 European Green Leaf competition.
European Green Capital Award The European Green Capital Award is a prestigious title, and one which is pursued by cities all across Europe. Since the 2014 competition cycle, the European Green Capital has become an annual award.
