About the organization

ZDRAVO I ZELENO is a civil society organization

We were founded from the need of individuals to actively contribute to improving quality of life in local communities by connecting the fields of environmental protection and public health.

By connecting the professional community, local authorities, the media, and citizens, we build bridges of knowledge, communication, and action leading toward a healthier and greener environment. Our core guiding idea is that nothing matters more than a healthy living environment and an informed citizen. That is precisely why we want to be a reliable source of information, an active partner in shaping local policy, and a driver of initiatives that bring together science, practice, and community.
