Beirut, 3-4 May 2018. In the context of the collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea, UNIDO ITPO Italy organized a technical seminar on green neighborhoods, focused on six main topics: green neighborhoods and cities, green buildings, design of public spaces and green areas, sustainable transportation, sustainable water, energy & food, sustainable waste. The Forum was held in Beirut, in cooperation with the Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC), local counterpart of IMELS in the project jointly implemented with UNIDO ITPO Italy.

Around 15 Italian companies and more than 50 Lebanese ones attended the event, carrying out more than one hundred BtoB meetings. The event was also enriched by the participation of Arch. Mario Cucinella, who delivered a lectio magistralis focused on the recognized Italian experience in this topic.

UNIDO ITPO Italy will follow-up the meetings held, paving the way for the participation of the Italian companies in the forthcoming International Beirut Energy Forum (IBEF), which will take place in September 2018.
