Green Belt Europe
Requirements
► European Parliament should adopt a resolution for the protection of the European Green
Belt, also expressing support for the associated European Green Belt Initiative.
► The EU Parliament is asked to initiate and support further trans-boundary projects and
activities and to establish a financial support programme for the Green Belt (nature
conservation, nature tourism and regional development).
► A special focus should be put on harmonising conservation management on both sides of
the former Iron Curtain and closing gaps by extending nature reserves across borders.
► Green Infrastructure: The Green Belt is already an indispensable part of a Green
Infrastructure. Green bridges or similar measures should be applied for unavoidable crossings
of the Green Belt.
► Due to its outstanding significance for nature conservation and its historic dimension as a
European commemorative landscape, the EU should support a possible nomination of the
Green Belt as UNESCO-World Heritage.
