BESTbelt is funding a total of 49 projects across the European Green Belt, spanning all its four regions: the Fennoscandian, Baltic, Central European, and Balkan Green Belt. These projects, all implemented by local organisations, support biodiversity conservation, nature restoration, awareness raising, community empowerment, education, and promotion of green job opportunities—all core pillars of the European Green Belt Initiative's vision.

 

The funding was awarded through three Calls for Proposals:

  • 1st Call (2022): 11 projects (all completed by October 2024)
  • 2nd Call (2023): 17 projects, including 6 transboundary
  • 3rd Call (2024): 21 projects, including 7 transboundary

 

In total, 36 regular projects and 13 so-called transboundary projects, which are implemented in a cross-border context, are being funded. Projects are carried out in 21 countries, implemented by around 80 organisations.
