Our newest publication, edited by Tomasz Jeleński, is now ready for download. It is a comprehensive guide that explains and presents the wide range of possible solutions (technologies and materials) to be implemented in each building element to minimise its environmental impact.

In February 2022, we started the project Urban river valleys ecosystems. The potential of ecosystem services in anthropogenic climate change mitigation. In collaboration with Phronesis SA in Oslo, we will raise awareness of the river valley ecosystems’ value for life quality and climate change mitigation in cities.

In January 2022, we started the implementation of a two-year project. It aims to deepen the knowledge of primary school students and teachers about the role of blue-green infrastructure in adapting to climate change. In partnership with the Warsaw – Wawer District Office and PS Paaby Prosess – Edu_Action from Norway, we created an education centre for the people in the city.

In partnership with the Leśna Commune and the consulting company COWI from Norway, in December 2021, we launched a two-year project to develop and implement nature-based solutions that will help cope with drought and flooding.

On October 13-14, 2021, the second workshop on the protection of River Parks took place in Krakow. The event was part of the Clearing House project and was prepared by the Sendzimir Foundation in cooperation with the project partner, the Kraków Municipal Greenspace Authority.

We are starting to realise a new project funded by the Horizon 2020 program that aims to create local policies supporting European cities and municipalities in adapting to climate change and mitigating its effects.

Sendzimir Foundation and the Croatia Green Building Council are organizing a two-steps training program (online course followed by the stationary training) as a part of the “Climate Mitigation in Heritage Buildings” project. The application deadline is 3^rd October.

“Green Leader” is a program of the Polish-American Freedom Foundation, implemented by the Sendzimir Foundation. It supports local leaders in environmental and climate protection activities and the effective acquisition of European Union funds for their implementation. In 2021-2022, over 80 people from 30 municipalities from all over Poland participated in the program.

The Metropolitan Action Group was established as part of the INTERLACE project with the goal to cooperate in order to renew and strengthen natural areas in 15 municipalities of the Krakow Metropolis. The inaugural meeting was held online on March 18, 2021.

We are happy to announce that the Sendzimir Foundation, as the second Polish organization after the city of Krakow, joined the Climate Heritage Network (CHN). Thus, we are among more than 220 organizations from around the world that are committed to strengthening the role of art, culture and heritage in climate action.

Warsaw University of Technology Business School invited the Sendzimir Foundation to the first edition of Social Impact Lab addressed to the participants of the Executive MBA Programme.
