Description

The main objective of the Project is the implementation of measures that will contribute to mitigation and adaptation to climate change. The particular measures will create a synergic effect and will be carried out under the following activities:

  • Development of the Action plan on climate change mitigation and adaptation (incl. analysis of climate conditions, risk analysis, analysis of the territory vulnerability to climate change, monitoring of areas with rapid water drain and extreme erosion)
  • Investments in buildings (e. g. increase in energy efficiency in selected kindergartens, shading with exterior vertical greenery, green walls of the container stands, conversion of asphalt pitches to bright areas)
  • Energy saving solutions and smart solutions (installation of solar lightning in the parks, installation of air quality sensors and a combined sensor of meteorological parameters, application for monitoring of air quality in the town)
  • Transport (e-car and e-bicycles for the Town Hall employees)   
  • Green and blue infrastructure (e. g. planting a green island on a crossroad, planting of meadow communities, installation of insect houses, placing of flower pots)
  • Waste management  (introduction of the biodegradable waste collection from complex housing construction)
  • Water management (bioretention system with functional vegetation for catching and draining rainwater from slopes)
  • Soft activities (e. g. education programme for primary school pupils and secondary school students and the public, establishment of a “permanent exhibition exposition” on the implementation of measures and education on reducing the impact of CO2 on the environment in the town etc.).

A Donor Project Partner – the Ullensvang kommune is involved and will cooperate in developing and providing know-how in the preparation of the action plan. The Project is intended for the general public (inhabitants and visitors of the City of Brezno) with special focus on the elderly people.
