Description

The aim of the project is to create an adaptation strategy for the municipality of Mladá Boleslav and thus reduce the negative impacts of this change on its inhabitants. Part of the creation of the strategy will be a detailed analysis of the risks of the territory, on the basis of which a system of effective measures will be created. We consider the project to be very important, especially for city officials and its inhabitants. The city management will get a very important tool for the implementation of measures against climate change and will offer its residents various solutions for a better quality of life in the city. 

Summary of project results

In the project, we focused on developing an adaptation strategy for climate change in the city of Mladá Boleslav. This is a very current topic not only for our city, which would like to be prepared for climate change in the future and use the processed analyzes to obtain additional financial resources for the implementation of development projects aimed at adaptation. As part of the project, we developed an adaptation strategy for the city of Mladá Boleslav, which includes an analytical, strategic and implementation part. It also includes an action plan for specific projects that we would like to implement in the coming years.

We consider the developed strategy to be very important in the context of current climate change and efforts to address it. In cooperation with experts, we have identified the main risks that arise for our city from changing natural conditions. Significant risks in our territory include heat waves, which mainly affect the historic center and some of the residential areas, drought, which mainly affects the industrial parts of the city and flash floods. Among the most important target groups were the public who live in the city and have to move around the hot sidewalks, cope with insufficient access to small bodies of water or spend time in the park, where there is not enough moisture.

Thanks to the new adaptation strategy, the city is more aware of all these problems and will try to eliminate them, depending on its financial capabilities, in the coming years.
