Shared Green Deal - Preserving Biodiversity

Stop, Look and Listen: Preserving the Biodiversity of Ballyhoura

Shared Green Deal is an EU Horizon Project that covers 6 different areas, Clean Energy, Circular Economy, Sustainable Mobility, Efficient Renovations, Sustainable Food and Preserving Biodiversity. Ballyhoura Development was one of four areas across Europe selected to take part in the Preserving Biodiversity strand.  

A key ambition of this project is for citizens to gain increased knowledge on the preservation and restoration of biodiversity.

This project is an international collaboration with partners across the European Union, who have been carrying out the same project in tandem with us throughout the year. Our partners are:  

  • Municipality of Amaroussion in Athens

  • Environment and Health Department in Stockholm

  • Posoški razvojni centre, Tolmin, Slovenia

The core goal of the project is to stimulate shared actions on Green Deal initiatives across Europe, by providing Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) tools to support the implementation of 8 EU Green Deal policy areas, at the local and regional level. Funded by the Horizon 2020 programme of the European Union, Shared Green Deal will deliver changes in societal practices and in the behavior of individuals, communities, and public and private organisations. 

Further information about the project is available here: Putting Europe’s biodiversity on its recovery path through social experiments | MIO-ECSDE.


Watch a short film, "The Stop, Look, Listen: Preserving  the biodiversity of Ballyhoura Country", co-created with the project participants to highlight the ongoing efforts to protect biodiversity in the Ballyhoura Catchment area:
