Sustain Europe Magazine - Autumn - Winter 2024/25

In this issue

This edition opens with a sobering look at the environmental devastation unfolding in Ukraine, where over 6,500 recorded ecological crimes since the invasion began underscore the urgent need to recognise ecocide as an international crime. Against this backdrop of conflict and ecological collapse, we turn our gaze to cities leading by example. Our cover story takes us to Bratislava, where a city once defined by its history is quietly emerging as a model for sustainable meetings and urban transformation. In coastal Rijeka, transformative infrastructure and climate ambition are reshaping the city’s future. And on Denmark’s garden island of Fyn, small communities are proving that local action can drive meaningful environmental change. Finally, Kraków emerges as a champion of sustainable business tourism and regional solidarity. These stories reveal a resilient Europe charting a path forward in uncertain times.
