Description

Children and adolescents - the main recipients of the educational activities planned in the project, but also adult inhabitants of Gryfino, lack correct models of conduct in the field of actions that they can take at the local level to reduce the causes of global warming and implement measures to adapt to climate change in their immediate vicinity. They also lack practical skills.

Training and education of the inhabitants of Gryfino and the surrounding area are planned, during which they will learn about possible adaptation and mitigation activities. The investment activities in the project will be exemplary - shown as to be repeated by residents in their backyard gardens, in a shared yard near the block. Training of experts on Blue-Green solutions at the planning level in the Commune will allow for scaling the effect of the project.

The aim of the project is to strengthen the immunity of Gryfino to the negative effects of climate change, as well as to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the local level.

The project target group are the inhabitants of Commune Gryfino - their awareness of the causes and effects of climate change will increase, and they will acquire practical skills to counteract it.

The project partner is an expert in the field of landscaping with respect to biodiversity and successful Blue-Green implementations. His main task will be to provide Polish experts with knowledge in the field of planning and design at the commune level. Added value - knowledge transfer to Gryfino in the field of Blue-Green engineering solutions (planning, implementation, maintenance). The added value for the partner is the possibility of disseminating the existing knowledge, contributing to the reduction of the causes of global warming and to the effects of climate change at the local level.
