The "VIRIDIS LOCI" project aimed to contribute to the European Green Deal and SDG 11 by promoting sustainable, inclusive, and resilient urban communities through the professional management of green areas. Key objectives included: - Environmental Impact: Enhance urban green spaces to provide ecosystem services, mitigate climate change, and promote biodiversity. - Skills Development: Train public technicians, private operators, and young graduates with innovative methods and ICT tools for green area management. - Social Inclusion: Support vulnerable groups, including youth, women, and migrants, by creating new professional opportunities and bridging knowledge gaps. - Innovation and Sustainability: Develop high-tech maintenance methods, establish an ICT platform for training, and create long-term guidelines for urban green planning. The project sought to foster local expertise, create professional jobs, and promote sustainable urban development in isolated island contexts, enhancing their environmental and economic resilience.
