Nowa Ruda City - Mitigating effects of climate changes through developing a system of green-blue infrastructure in the area of Nowa Ruda city
The Minister of Climate and Environment, supported by the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management (NFEP&WM), as the Operator of the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme, informs of the conclusion of an agreement for co-financing Mitigating effects of climate changes through developing a system of green-blue infrastructure in the area of Nowa Ruda city project.
The beneficiary of the project is the Nowa Ruda City.
About the project
The project obtained co-financing in the call for proposals: The implementation of green and blue infrastructure in cities under the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme, in the area of climate change mitigation and adaptation.
The project is financed in 85% from the funds of the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme, of which 85% comes from the Financial Mechanism of the European Economic Area (EEA FM) and 15% from the state budget.
The aim of the project is to increase the capacity of the Nowa Ruda community to mitigate climate change and adapt to its effects through a range of adaptation, mitigation, education and information activities. Their implementation is expected to contribute to solving the problems related to climate change faced by Polish municipalities. These include e.g. the phenomenon of the so-called 'urban heat island', air pollution, unused potential of rainwater application, low awareness of inhabitants concerning the possibilities of rainwater management. In addition, the city receives a higher amount of precipitation than the average for the voivodeship and Poland. As a result, the city's slopes are prone to erosion.
Partnership
The project is conducted with partner from Norway – INTBAU Norway.
Implementation period
The contract for the project's co-financing was signed in November 2021 and the planned completion date is April 30, 2024.
