Soil contamination poses a significant environmental and public health threat, both within the European Union and in the Western Balkans (WB6).

To address this issue, the EU4Green project organized a Regional Workshop “Towards a Register for Contaminated Sites” in Skopje, North Macedonia, on October 7-8, 2024.

The workshop brought together experts from the Environment Agency Austria (EAA), the European Environment Agency (EEA), the Italian Institute for Environmental Protection and Research (ISPRA) and representatives and professionals from WB6 economies to discuss best practices for identifying, managing, and creating comprehensive national registries of contaminated sites.
