Description
The reason for the implementation of the project is the necessity to adapt the infrastructure of Kowary to the ongoing climate changes and to introduce solutions that will reduce their impact. The identified climate risks in the area of the city include, among others, the difficulties with rainwater retention, heat waves and deterioration of air quality or degradation of green areas. These are corroborated by the provisions of the Climate Change Adaptation Pian for the Municipality of Kowary
The project will address the above risks and problems through adaptation and mitigation activities, e.g. increasing rainwater retention capacity, revitalization and creation of green areas as well as improving water penełration in soli. These actions will invoive raising the ecological awareness of the society. The resuit will be the development of infrastructure and the increase in the residents'' ability to adapt to climate change.
The project will increase Kowary resilience to climate change, including its green areas and water management process, reduce emissions, and raise public awareness of environmental issues.
The project will be addressed to a diverse group of Kowary residents who will become more aware and educated in the field of environmental protection and will gain a better environrinent for living
The partnership has been established with a Norwegian company, Entini AS, a RES producer. A study visit of
the Requestor at the Partner''s site and a visit of the Partner''s employees to Poland are planned. The result of
the undertaken cooperation will be a code of good practices for the development of Kowary as well as the
implementation of environmental education projects. The added values of the partnership:
- increase of ecological awareness of the project recipients,
- broadening of the project recipienłs'' knowledge,
The above mentioned benefits would not be attainable withouf the project.
