Description

The need to realize the project originates, above all, from the necessity to limit negative effects of climate changes and issues occurring in the area of support, related to, i.e.: occurrence of urban island of heat effects, air pollution, lack of solutions in the scope of use of rainwater and low ecological awareness of the society. Compliance of the project with Low Emission Economy Plan for Wyszków Commune, Local Revitalization Programme for the Wyszków Commune for the years 2018-2023.

 

In the frames of the project comprehensive actions will be implemented to enable easing of climate changes and adjusting to them, among others: introducing small water retention and green elements in built-in areas, including so far not used solutions (green walls), modernizing street light systems and promoting bike riding as an alternative to cars.
