We at the Green Policy Center have imagined the year 2020 quite differently, just as all of us. Nonetheless we have achieved during our first year of operations quite a lot; we have published articles, started a series of studies, organised public events, participated on conferences and were active on our social media outlets. Below we have compiled an info-graphic about our first year.

We at the Green Policy Center are thankful that you have followed our work in 2020, participated at one of our events or worked with us on a sustainability project. Our think tank will continue to work on high quality level in 2021 as well to promote a meaningful dialogue on sustainability, climate policy and other environmental issues, in order to achieve the 2050 climate neutrality goal.
