The City of Poreč‑Parenzo, is a forward-looking coastal community in Istria, Croatia, where economic vitality, sustainable development, and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
With a stable population of around 17,000 that rises significantly during peak tourism seasons, the city faces unique challenges in managing energy demand, transport, and climate risks—challenges it approaches as opportunities, addressing them proactively, inclusively, and creatively.
Poreč has embraced climate action as a strategic priority, developing ambitious adaptation and mitigation strategies, implementing tangible energy transition measures, and fostering broad citizen engagement.
Recognised as the recipient of the “Best Quality of Life” award for a mid-sized city in Croatia five times over the past eight years (2018, 2019, 2023, 2024 and 2025), the city is committed to harnessing local innovation to benefit both residents and the wider European community, sharing experiences, learning from others, and contributing constructively to collective solutions for a fair, resilient, and climate-neutral future.
