Bristol 2015

Bristol European Green Capital is a city-wide intiative with many organisations involved. To facilitate this, a new company has been established: Bristol 2015 Ltd. Bristol 2015 Ltd works closely with Bristol City Council, the Green Capital Partnership (a network of over 700 organisations working to make Bristol a more sustainable city) and directly with UK, EU and international partners. These include educational and arts and cultural institutions, business networks, visitor and tourism bodies and many more. Bristol 2015 Ltd is also looking for help from other sources—individuals, community organisations and businesses. We’re working towards three key goals for Bristol 2015: Local empowerment: to work with existing initiatives, networks and local communities to ensure that the value of sustainable living is delivered across Bristol’s neighbourhoods, businesses and the voluntary sector, resulting in attitude and behaviour change. International Reach: To build Bristol’s global profile as the UK’s most pioneering, sustainable city and region, to encourage exports, investment, tourism and economic growth. Sustainability leadership: For Bristol to become the leading forum for UK, European and global exchange in sustainability expertise, in the lead up to the 2015 UN Conference on Climate Change.
