Description

This project aims to build a strong partnership between the Municipality of Straldzha and International Development Norway for exchange of good practices in the area of climate change adaptation and mitigation. The municipality employees will learn new skills and gain competences for assessing the strategic plans and measures for climate change actions. This will make them more successful at reducing/limiting greenhouse gas emissions and building resilience in the local community to adapt to climate change. Ultimately, the municipality will become more efficient in planning, defining, analyzing and implementing new critical steps to prevent or limit possible damages that climate change may cause.

The implementation of this activity will ensure full compliance with the objectives of the project and the program to improve the status of the environment in ecosystems and reduce the effects of pollution in the municipality of Straldzha. The results will contribute to the achievement of the objectives set in the project, corresponding to the objectives of the main objectives of the EEA FM, as well as the requirements and objectives of the national and European strategic documents in the field of climate change, in synergy with European, national and meat policies and strategic documents in the field of waste management.
