By Plenary Sessions: Madis Kallas

The focus is on the level of national environmental management and the analysis of international practices, seeking examples from Europe, particularly the successful renewable energy development models of Finland and Lithuania.

The focus is on national public security issues and youth behavior trends, with no references to specific regions or local projects.

There is a very strong focus on regional and local issues, particularly the peripheralization and depopulation of areas in Central Estonia (Vana-Vigala) and on the islands (ferry tickets, permanent resident discounts). It is emphasized that rural areas need year-round vitality to maintain local services and overall sustainability. The negative consequences of the concentration of population in Harju County are also highlighted (traffic jams, long queues).
