The Consell Comarcal del Vallès Occidental has explored new European cooperation opportunities in sustainability with the international network ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability. The meeting, held on Thursday, October 5th, identified potential collaboration lines in key areas for the region.

Since 2024, the Consell Comarcal has been part of ICLEI, a leading network comprising over 2,500 local governments and regions from 125 countries committed to sustainable development. The meeting included participation from the Council's Management and Transnational Projects team.
Potential work areas include preventing food waste and utilizing surplus food, protecting biodiversity in supramunicipal territories, social equity, and the role of schools as agents for awareness and transformation towards a more sustainable society.
The ICLEI Network, founded in 1990 with the support of the United Nations, brings together local entities, research centers, and industry representatives to develop innovative projects across various fields. The European delegation advises local administrations and acts as a direct link to European Union institutions, facilitating access to funding, projects, and the exchange of experiences.
