Green Infrastructure Initiatives and Forest Restoration for Climate Adaptation in Zimnicеа and Svishtov areas (GREEN - ROBG00356) - ROBG00356
What is the purpose?
Specific Objective: 2.4 - Promoting climate change adaptation and disaster risk prevention, resilience, taking into account ecosystem-based approaches
The overall objective of the project is to strengthen natural flood protection mechanisms through ecologization and afforestation, reducing the negative impact of floods, improving soil stability, and enhancing the adaptive capacity of the region to climate change. By implementing nature-based solutions, the project will increase water retention, limit erosion, and restore green infrastructure, creating a sustainable ecological barrier to protect urban, peri-urban, and rural communities. The expected change is a significant reduction in flood risks, improved soil quality, and a healthier environment, benefiting local populations, municipal administrations, and regional ecosystems.
