Description
Climate change is a threat to sustainable development. It is expected that the effects of climate change, such as floods, violent storms, urban heat islands, smog, thermal inversions, disrupting air circulation and droughts will intensify even more. According to the SPA 2020, there is a need to implement measures to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase resilience to climate change. The project is a response to the above-mentioned challenges.
The project aims to broaden the knowledge of the school community and residents of Brwinów and Michałowice communes about climate change (including: problems related to it, its effects and ways of mitigating and adapting to them) by implementing adaptation and mitigation measures at schools, as well as related educational and information activities. Students will take an active part in the project
