Občina Postojna je del zelene sheme slovenskega turizma, kar pomeni, da se aktivno zavzema za trajnostni razvoj in odgovorno ravnanje z naravnimi viri. Kot nosilka zlatega znaka Slovenia Green Destination si prizadeva za izboljšanje kakovosti življenja prebivalcev ter hkrati spodbuja okolju prijazen in trajnostno naravnan turizem.
Aktivno uresničuje trajnostni razvoj z izvajanjem različnih projektov in pobud, ki spodbujajo okolju prijazne prakse ter izboljšujejo kakovost bivanja v občini.
Na področju trajnostne mobilnosti je občina vzpostavila Center trajnostne mobilnosti (CTM Postojna), ki nudi podporo pri razvoju in promociji kolesarjenja, hoje ter uporabe javnega prevoza. Med storitvami centra so izposoja koles POSbike, vzdrževanje polnilnic za električna vozila in ozaveščanje o trajnostnih načinih prevoza.
V okviru projekta Green-Tex občina sodeluje pri razvoju trajnostnih rešitev v tekstilni industriji. Aktivnosti vključujejo izmenjavo oblačil, delavnice ponovne uporabe tekstila ter ozaveščanje o negativnih vplivih hitre mode. Cilj je zmanjšati tekstilne odpadke in spodbujati krožno gospodarstvo.
Občina je vključena tudi v projekt Green4HEAT, ki si prizadeva za prehod na energetsko učinkovite ogrevalne sisteme. S sodelovanjem v tem projektu Postojna raziskuje možnosti za vzpostavitev trajnostnih termalnih energetskih skupnosti, kar bi izboljšalo energetsko učinkovitost in zmanjšalo vpliv na okolje.
Poleg tega se občina pridružuje pobudam, kot je Evropski teden zmanjševanja odpadkov, s čimer krepi ozaveščenost in spodbuja trajnostne prakse med občani. Aktivnosti v tem tednu so usmerjene v zmanjševanje odpadne embalaže in spodbujanje okolju prijaznih navad.
S temi in drugimi pobudami Občina Postojna izkazuje zavezanost trajnostnemu razvoju, izboljšanju kakovosti življenja ter ohranjanju naravnega okolja za prihodnje generacije.
