Engaging Stakeholders for Lasting Change
The core mission of PRO-Coast is to strengthen biodiversity, restore ecosystems, and enhance ecosystem services through meaningful involvement of local communities, civil society, policymakers, financial institutions, and industry stakeholders. This collaborative approach ensures that local voices are heard and incorporated into impactful solutions.
The project’s evolving website (www.pro-coast.eu) plays a vital role in this effort. Across several languages it is providing easy access to a diverse range of events—from workshops and training sessions to conferences and online forums—creating a vibrant, borderless space for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration. The website provides a platform instrumental in driving community-led change and fostering a shared commitment to safeguarding Europe’s natural heritage.
