At the beginning of September we started a new project in cooperation with Croatian Green Building Council that will contribute to an increased understanding, acceptance and uptake of climate friendly solutions and renovation procedures in historical buildings among municipal decision makers and key experts.

On August 24-26, our partner Ecologic Institute organized a study visit to Berlin – a city where 80% of rainwater is retained where it falls! The event was aimed at decision-makers representing local governments from all over Poland, engaged in the Climate NBS project.

This catalogue is designed to support planners, designers and landscape architects in various sized urban areas in Europe and beyond in applying NBS instead of or alongside traditional approaches. The publication responds to challenges and presents a wide selection of NBS.

Joint European-Chinese Collaborative Learning project on the role of Urban Forest nature-based solutions (UF-NBS) for sustainable urbanisation and resilient cities, launched at the beginning of September 2019. Sendzimir Foundation is among 27 partner institutions realising the project. It is a project on urban forests and nature-based solutions with the aim to enhance the resilience of cities that are facing major environmental, socio-economic and cultural transitions and challenges.

The aim of the project is to initiate dialogue and exchange of experience on the management of green areas in cities. In order to develop a sustainable, cross-sectoral, partnership-based cooperation and exchange of experience between entities involved in the creation and management of urban green areas and other stakeholders.

In March 2019, we launched a new project on participatory spacial planning. We encourage local authorities to enter into cooperation and follow our activities. 

The project Climate Mitigation through Nature-Based Solutions in Urban Poland (Climate NBS Poland) realised by the Sendzimir Foundation in partnership with the Ecologic Institute from Berlin from October 2018 till November 2020 thanks to funding from GIZ on behalf of the government of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Sustainable Development Applications series has been established to promote tools and case studies of good practice related to sustainable development, both in Poland and abroad.

As part of the Hosting Social Innovation project and in cooperation with partner organizations, we have prepared a workbook for people interested in their own development aimed at following their passions and shaping the environment according to their values.

The book combines the features of a guidebook for sustainable development professionals and a textbook for those interested in studying this topic.
