💭 The ISE Community of Practice met online yesterday, bringing together representatives from the JS, the Governance and Thematic projects and other stakeholders from the Interreg world. Through exercises and in-depth discussions, the meeting was a great opportunity to build on the networking and cooperation journey started in Marseille last June. Some takeaways: 🔹 We found out more about the impact the thematic projects will have in the region in the areas of marine resources, agri-food systems, industrial transition and resource valorisation 🔹 We explored the possibility of amplifying their results and heard some success stories from other projects 🔹 We took the opportunity to discuss the next steps and future opportunities for capacity building and skills development. Once again, we are inspired by the enthusiasm and commitment of the community members 🫂 Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of the meeting. It gave us a lot of food for thought. 👉 To find out more on our projects head to our website: https://lnkd.in/d33in7xG Interreg Euro-MED Programme Universitat de Vic – Universitat Central de Catalunya BETA Technological Center Dynamic Vision PC.

👗 Abiti acquistati e buttati troppo rapidamente: erano 58 milioni di tonnellate nel 2000, oggi il doppio. Nel 2030 saranno 1️⃣4️⃣5️⃣milioni. 💶 Prezzi bassi ma costi altissimi per ambiente: 🇪🇺un cittadino europeo in media getta 11kg di abiti ogni anno, mentre il 20% dell'inquinamento delle 💦acque nel mondo deriva dal trattamento dei tessuti. ⚠️ Serve un cambio del modello. Se vi siete persi La Nuova Ecologia di #ottobre vi metto qui l’approfondimento dedicato alla #fastfashion con servizi di Elisa Cozzarini, Tessa Gelisio e un mio articolo sul progetto VERDEinMED.

😲 Watch out for these data from the European Commission! Fast fashion is one of the most polluting industries. 💨🏭😷 To inform about this and, above all, to help achieve a #circulareconomy model in the textile sector and throughout its value chain, #VERDEinMED is going to create a digital Knowledge Platform that brings together valuable tools within the reach of different audiences. ♻️👕 We will give you more information very soon! ⌛ Interreg Euro-MED Programme Innovative Sustainable Economy Mission #Fastfashion #textilesector
