Ljubljana, 21. junij 2005 – Danes objavljeni podatki Evropske okoljske agencije kažejo, da se Evropske vlade niso zmožne soočiti z izzivom globalnega segrevanja. Emisije toplogrednih plinov na ravni EU so se v letu 2003 dvignile za 1.5%, kar kaže na to, da bo težko doseči zaveze iz Kjotskega protokola.

22. in 23. junija bo med 10. in 18. uro v parku pred stavbami na Pristaniški ulici 8, 10 in 12 v Kopru gostovala razstava o spreminjanju podnebja.

17. in 18. junija bo med 10. in 18. uro na Grajskem trgu v Mariboru gostovala razstava o spreminjanju podnebja.

14. in 15. junija bo med 10. in 18. uro na Zvezdi v Celju gostovala razstava o spreminjanju podnebja.

8.  in 9. junija bo med 10. in 18. uro na Trgu zmage v Murski Soboti gostovala razstava o spreminjanju podnebja.

31. maja in 1. junija bo med 10. in 18. uro na Glavnem trgu v Novem mestu gostovala razstava o spreminjanju podnebja.

Preprečevanje nastajanja odpadkov in posledično zmanjševanje količin odpadkov je naslednji veliki izziv pred slovensko družbo in gospodarstvom. Dosedanji razvoj ravnanja z odpadki je predvsem osredotočen na sisteme ravnanja z odpadki in veliko manj na uvajanje ukrepov in dejavnosti za njihovo zmanjševanje in preprečevanje. Republika Slovenija bo morala slediti trendom trajnostne rabe naravnih virov.

25.5. bo v Centru Evropa v Ljubljani potekala delavnica o odpadkih.

27. in 28. maja bo med 10. in 18. uro v ljubljanskem parku Zvezda gostovala razstava o spreminjanju podnebja, ki je bila pripravljena v okviru ozaveščevalne kampanje Spreminjam navade, ne pa podnebja!
