Bilateral cooperation results

Bilateral partners, Energy Farm International Foundation, EFIF and International Development Norway AS from Norway, shared knowledge and worked together on soft and hard measures during joint meetings in Slovakia and organised workshops for partners and wide public. Bilateral knowledge, experiences, and best practices in an effort to raise awareness and literacy on climate change and its impacts in Slovakia were exchanged. The main topics covered by the bilateral collaboration were green and clean heating and e-mobility.
