"The signing of the agreement is an exceptional opportunity and an important initial step in addressing sustainability issues together with CER. We need to escape the carbon society and move towards a more sustainable lifestyle by reducing our daily emissions. By connecting with our Slovenian partner, we are becoming even more aware of the possible solutions that will shape our future. On this occasion, we also got to know two examples of good practice in Slovenia that we will try to introduce in Monaco.”
