FUTURE PERSPECTIVES

     The aim is for the Kerkenes Eco-Center and Sahmuratli Village to be a showcase for environmentally friendly, energy sensitive and self-sufficient development, promoting the use of renewable energy for a low-carbon economy and a sustainable future.

     It is however necessary to secure additional funding so as to pursue given goals and overcome various bureaucratic hurdles that will make the income generating activities economically viable in the medium and long term. It is hoped that continuing support from local authorities and private sector will enable the project team to put in place a 2017 program of activities that will bring together villagers, school children, university students, educators and professionals for workshops and visits that will help securing a sustainable future for our planet.
