The European Green Leaf Award was created in 2015 in the footprints of the European Green Capital Award. The Award was established with the aim to recognise the sustainable efforts of small cities (from 20,000 to 99,999 inhabitants).
The Award participates in the amplification of green actions in European cities and thus joins the ambitions of the European Green Deal, the New European Bauhaus, and the Zero Pollution Action Plan.
