There will be also a session dedicated to the integration of green public procurement (GPP) into policy instruments: case studies and good practices from other EU regions not directly involved in GPP-STREAM project.

During the second day, high level speakers from public EU institutions will be presenting good practices and case studies on environmental policy development and how GPP can be integrated into various policies which public administrations (PAs) need to develop and implement.
