Description

The necessity of the project results from periods of drought and heavy rain caused by climate change as well as degradation of green areas and the need for improvement of water management (including rainwater). The aims of the project are to increase green areas, improve water management and raise Twardogóra’s citizens awareness of adaptation to climate change. In Poland in 2019, there were 1 500 m3 of water per person. Long-lasting warmer weather conditions will worsen the situation.  

14 coherent and mutual connected activities are planned which include: building a fountain in the park, a playground, green buildings’walls, green communication routes and green carparks, the management of a yard and an escarp towards better retention, a sensory garden next to school, insect hotels, rainwater tanks, an electric car charging station and new, fitting plants next to roads. There will be also educational activities addressed to the direct group of recipients.  

Increasing the number of green areas and biodiversity in Twardogóra, raising awareness related to biodiversity, retention, urban greenery and climate change among project’s recipients.
