Our methods support learning from others

The cities in the Baltic Sea Region face similar challenges. Different cities concentrate on different sustainability issues and it is useful to share ideas and experiences with others by choosing a method that supports the aims of the project.

UBC has used for example peer reviews, municipal environmental audit and transfer of good practices as methods in its projects.

Sometimes suitable method is not available as such. The method may be a process of development which includes parts of other methods. UBC is also developing new methods to meet the needs of the cities.

Taking part in a UBC project will always contain the idea of evaluation, education and making suggestions for improvement on the way to more sustainable systems.

Following methods enable your municipality to use tried and tested practices and thus utilize available resources in the most cost efficient way. This website introduces the methods on a step-by-step basis and contains a sample of good practices from Baltic Sea Region cities to serve as source of inspiration.
