Description
"Implementing innovative measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change in municipalities in Bulgaria" is a predefined project run by the National Trust Ecofund in partnership with eight Bulgarian municipalities and the Norwegian association of regional and local authorities (KS). The main objective is to improve the capacity of local authorities to plan and identify creative and innovative urban planning solutions and to implement them to mitigate impacts and adapt to climate change.
The project will focus on increasing the capacity of the targeted municipalities to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and to respond to extreme weather events by applying more efficient and innovative measures.
Through trainings and study visits to Norway, local authorities will be supported in assessing their strategic plans and programs - including already implemented climate actions, and will be facilitated in integrating the new knowledge and experience as to climate action and urban development.
The role of the National Trust Ecofund is to provide expertise and cooperate with the municipalities to review and assess their strategic plans as well as to elaborate innovative investment measures. The Norwegian partner will contribute at all stages of the project with the information regarding best practices and experiences in most recent innovative technologies for small scale infrastructure in cities.
The municipalities - Burgas, Kardzhali, Plovdiv, Ruse, Sliven, Sofia, Stara Zagora, Varna will be responsible for managing and implementing the relevant pilot investment actions. The Norwegian partner will contribute all the way through project implementation by sharing experience and best practice models for customizing the latest innovative technologies.
