Description

The main objective of the Project is the implementation of measures which 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),
  • Building sector (reduction of energy intensity of the selected elementary school, installation of an extensive green roof etc.),
  • Energy saving solutions, smart solutions and energy production (modernization of lighting in city park, Installation of the measurement system),
  • Transport (bicycles and bike stands for employees of the Municipal Office),
  • Green and blue infrastructure (e.g. revitalization of the Town park, planting of an alley in the forest park, construction of artificial elements for cooling of public areas, construction of rainwater gardens,
  •  Water management (changing of concrete pathways in the forest park into permeable ones),
  • Measures focused on citizen groups that are most vulnerable to climate change (construction of a playground with workout objects),
  • 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 Vinje Kommune is involved in the Project 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 Šaľa) with special focus on the elderly people.
