Description
Why is the project needed? Which situation or problem does the project aim to address? (provide reference to evidence, include reference to the relevant laws or policies, where relevant)
The project is needed due to the current problems: an increase in the annual temperature
temperature, change in the condition of accession and energy batteries conducive to achievement, promotion anomalies such as: floods of money, rapid changes, Island heat, reds, cost inversions, air circulation disorders, low ecological price Inhabitants and students and the brake lifting the slowing climate in terms of climate change mitigation
The project will contribute the implementation of 5 different adaptation and mitigation measures in school areas:
-construction of permeable and ground surfaces for rainwater;
-installing green walls;
-planting appropriate non-invasive plants in terms of water requirements and planting sites, fruit trees;
-building educational paths, didactic gardens;
-creating eco-gardens, building houses for animals.
-educational and information activities related thematically to the above activities
The achievement of the project will be to raise public awareness in the field of climate change mitigation and
adaptation to its effects.
Who is expected to benefit from this project and how will they benefit?
The beneficiaries will be primary school students through their active participation in the project, and thanks toa well-conducted promotion, also the entire population of the Kozienice poviat.
Summary of project results
The primary objective of the project was to raise public awareness of climate protection in the broad sense, the impact of climate change on the development of humanity and the ecosystem, and adaptation to the effects of climate change by deepening the knowledge of society, especially the younger generation, about climate-related issues. The activities carried out as part of the project allowed for the deepening of knowledge and finding an answer to the question: what processes and factors are responsible for current climate change? What adaptation activities should be carried out to reduce the effects of climate change on society and the environment, so that the damage and negative effects of change are felt as little as possible, and the positive effects are used to the greatest extent? What mitigation activities should be undertaken to limit the scale or pace of global warming and its effects?
A number of activities were implemented to raise awareness of the issue of limiting the impact of climate change and adapting to its effects. The areas around the schools were revitalized and developed in a way that ensured the implementation of adaptation and mitigation activities. Educational and informational activities were carried out in both schools. The knowledge acquired was used by students to perform activities thematically related to adaptation and mitigation activities.
The implementation of the project contributed to the implementation of the following adaptation and mitigation measures:
introduction of small water retention and management of rainwater,
construction of permeable and above-ground surfaces for rainwater,
installation of green walls; – creation of green areas, introduction of greening elements – plantings taking into account appropriate non-invasive plants in terms of water requirements and planting locations, planting fruit trees,
construction of co-educational areas,
construction of educational paths, correctional/sensory paths, didactic gardens,
support for biodiversity,
creation of eco-gardens, with built-in animal houses,
As part of educational and information activities:
a campaign was conducted in traditional media and the Internet,
the school and local community was activated through direct involvement in activities with the support and professionalization of teachers,
an action plan was developed, teaching aids were purchased, prepared and issued.
over two thousand additional teaching hours were conducted in the field of climate change mitigation.
The project''s recipients are all residents of Gmina Kozienice, visitors, and above all, students of the schools involved.
Summary of bilateral results
Cooperation with a partner from the donor country (Norway) enabled the exchange of experience and knowledge on climate change and adaptation to its effects. Collaborating with a Norwegian partner enhanced the credibility and visibility of our climate-related initiative. They started as an institute for air research but have now expanded to research almost all aspects of how people, climate, and the environment affect each other. By partnering with a Norwegian organization we could leverage a wealth of experience, knowledge, and resources to effectively address and mitigate the impacts of climate change.The main results from a bilateral level:1. Knowledge about innovative climate solutions. The exchange of expertise between partners, especially regarding Norway''s advanced practices in climate change adaptation.2. Exchange of information on alignment with global sustainable development goals.3. Strengthening credibility and visibility of a climate-related project4. NILU presented recommendations on the sustainable development of policies and adaptation to climate change.5. Direct cooperation with NILU during the Norwegian partner''s study visits to Kozienice - showing the final results of creating 2 green zones at PSP No. 1 and PSP No. 4.6. Participation of the Norwegian partner in 3 project conferences and exchange of good practices.Plans to continue the bilateral cooperationWe will identify new project opportunities where both parties can collaborate, such as new product development, entering new industries, or creating joint ventures. Both teams will stay open to future partnerships that leverage our combined expertise. We will continually identify new project opportunities where both parties can collaborate. Both teams remain open to future partnerships leveraging our combined expertise.
