World Environment day in city park - Skopje

NGO Proaktiva initiated action "Be European-ride a bike", to raise public awareness on protecting the environment. Climate change project office supported part of their activities providing promotional stickers and T shirts. Lots of citizens and children attended the manifestation. Minister of Environment and Physical planning also supported the manifestation riding a bike in the city park, and appealing the citizens to replace their cars with bikes. 

Workshop - Consultations with the NGO sector

Representatives from about 20 NGOs participated in the meeting, organized by the climate change project office, where the project proposal for the Second National Communication was presented and discussed, along with the possibilities and ways of inclusion of NGOs in the preparation of the Second National Communication. In the past, only few NGOs were involved in the climate change related activities due to the lack of knowledge. Despite the fact that NGOs have their representative in the National Climate Chance Committee, they were still not being informed and educated enough about national activities. It was concluded that it is necessary to increase the cooperation within the NGO sector, and between the environmental NGOs and the Ministry of Environment and Physical Planning, which should support NGOs in their activities related to increasing public awareness. All parties agreed that NGOs could significantly contribute to raising general knowledge on climate change in the future, through conducting public awareness campaigns and implementation of small-scale related projects. Closer cooperation and information exchange with the climate change project office and between the NGOs was recommended. Since NGOs were introduced to the GEF Small Grants Programme, they are motivated to prepare projects addressing climate change and will be involved in capacity building activities.

The Carbon Dinosaur has visited over 50 cities in Europe. Outstanding climate killers in Europe have been given Carbon Dinosaur Awards for exceptional efforts to block action to fight climate change.
