European Green Belt

The European Green Belt is a network of protected natural areas that stretches along the former Iron Curtain, which divided Eastern and Western Europe during the Cold War. Spanning from Norway in the north to Greece in the south, this corridor aims to conserve biodiversity, protect habitats, and promote sustainable development. It serves as a living reminder of history while fostering cooperation among countries. The Green Belt supports wildlife migration, enhances ecological resilience, and encourages environmental education and tourism, ultimately promoting peace and environmental stewardship across Europe.
