Description

This project objective is to achieve increased capacity of local communities to reduce emissions and adapt to changing the climate. The activities set in the project are measures that have a direct and indirect effect on reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are in implementation of Priority Axis 2 "Transition to a lower-carbon electricity mix" from the TNPDIK of Bulgaria on Climate Change 2013 -2020.

The project envisages the implementation of innovative pilot measures in the field of energy and ecology, resulting in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and dependency on energy from hydrocarbons and fossil fuels, and the promotion of environmental technological solutions in the daily lives of residents in the municipalities of Haskovo, Stambolovo and Madjarovo.

Moreover, the key point in the project is the activities related to improving the skills and expertise at the municipal level for planning and assigning activities to assess the effectiveness of strategic plans and programs in the field of sustainable development and adaptation to adverse consequences of climate change. This would be supported through the dissemination of good practices and knowledge between the Bulgarian municipalities and their partner organization from the Kingdom of Norway in the field of environmental protection and adaptation to climate change.
