GPP Academy Program
Forum Compraverde Buygreen, 27-28 May 2026
Palazzo WEGIL, Largo Ascianghi 5, Roma
20 talks on the ecological transition
To mark the 20th edition of the Compraverde Buygreen Forum, the GPP Academy introduces a renewed format: 20 short, high-impact talks, delivered by leading voices in sustainability.
A training programme that explores practical solutions for the ecological transition, through experiences, projects and visions that are already driving change.
From European policies to local applications, each talk follows a clear thread:
the challenge → the decision → the transformation → the impact.
The sessions will be streamed Wednesday 27 May from 11.30 am to 1.30 pm and from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm, and Thursday 28 May from 10.00 am to 12.00 pm and from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm.
