    The two awards aim to amplify a simple message – Europeans have the right to live in healthy urban areas and cities should strive to improve both quality of life and environmental impact.

    • To encourage cities to actively develop citizens’ environmental awareness and involvement;
    • To identify cities that are able to act as ‘green ambassadors’ and to encourage other cities to progress towards better sustainability outcomes.

    EU cities are assessed by a Panel of Experts on the basis of 12 environmental indicators:

    1. Air Quality
    2. Noise
    3. Water
    4. Sustainable Land Use and Soil
    5. Waste and Circular Economy
    6. Nature and Biodiversity
    7. Green Growth and Eco-innovation
