Abstract
This is the short version of the English DiGreen Handbook of GREEN good Practice, a result of the project Digital Government for Green Municipalities and Cities - DiGreen. The project is cofunded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
The Handbook of GREEN good practice presents good examples of the provision of public services by using green means, which the municipalities and cities are producing “in-house” or using as a private sector product.
The text of the handbook is written in a clear, non-technical language, accessible to the general public, in order to be user-friendly and easy to understand and apply for practitioners. The ecologically provided public services present ways to rationalise the provision of competencies that the municipalities and cities have, engage inhabitants in governance, enhance the provision of public services qualitatively, base public policymaking on evidence, and take transparency and openness into consideration when providing public services.
