About Project
The project “City of Košice reacts to climate change – together we can reach more (ClimaUrbanKosice)” received a grant from Norway in the amount of € 1,182,000. The project was co-financed in the amount of € 209,000 from the state budget of the Slovak Republic.
The main goal of the project is to create a comprehensive platform for planning and implementing measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change in Košice through a comprehensive “action plan”. Contribute to mitigating the adverse effects of climate change, reduce vulnerability and increase the adaptive capacity of natural and man-made systems to the current or expected negative effects of climate change in our territory and raise awareness of climate change.
Project description
As part of this project, we plan to implement mitigation and adaptation measures, which will form only a small part of the imaginary mosaic of measures that need to be taken to reduce “our vulnerability”. Climate change is a global problem, but its extreme effects are largely local. Therefore, the active involvement of the local public administration is very important. It is to be the leader in the locality and must take climate change into account in its medium- or long-term strategic development plans, but also in its day-to-day activities and decisions. The key document for the strategic climate planning of the city of Košice will be the “action plan”.
