Before the local elections in April 2024, we launched the We Ask About Green campaign, encouraging people to ask candidates questions about environmental issues. It engaged around 340 people from all over Poland. After the elections, we continued to support the participants. 
We launched the Commit to Green (Commit2Green) project at the beginning of 2025. The project aims to support cities in increasing their share of urban greenery with the participation of local communities. The intermediate goal of the project is to strengthen cities’ blue-green infrastructure and climate neutrality and resilience.
In June 2024, we started a project cooperating with the Veolia Foundation. The project aims to increase knowledge about the energy efficiency of public buildings. This is the pilot edition, which will last until March 2025. The project is being implemented in partnership with the cities of Łódź and Poznań. The central part is a training program about building retrofit. The participants of the training had an opportunity to discuss with the multidisciplinary teams the energy renovation solutions for the selected buildings in Łódź and Poznań.
In 2025 we are carrying out training and advisory activities in green and energy transformation. During this project, we will support local governments of municipalities with up to 200,000 inhabitants from all over Poland with knowledge and good practices. We will implement it in partnership with the Shipyard Foundation.
In January 2024, we launched a new project under the Horizon Europe Programme Climate, Energy, and Mobility. FuturHist aims to develop replicable retrofit solutions for historic buildings of the future. The project’s ambition is to shift the focus from individual buildings to building typologies. It will help create a more sustainable and energy-efficient built environment while preserving historic structures.
We are starting the implementation of a two-year project called Urban Biodiversity Refuges, under which we will work on changing the approach of officials and decision-makers to urban nature and equipping them with the necessary knowledge, skills and tools to make such a change possible.
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.
“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.
Between 2020 and 2025, we realised the INTERLACE project financed by the Horizon 2020 programme. The project aimed to support cities from Europe and Latin America in effectively restoring and rehabilitating urban ecosystems to make cities more livable, resilient, and inclusive. The project created many mechanisms for the exchange of experiences and active cooperation at the local, regional, and global levels.
In partnership with the City of Zawiercie and the consulting company Alta from Iceland, we are implementing a one-year project Zielone Zawiercie (04.2022 – 04.2023), as part of which we will develop with the residents the concepts for the development of two parks.
From February 2022 till January 2024, we realised the project Urban River Valleys Ecosystems. The potential of ecosystem services in anthropogenic climate change mitigation. In collaboration with Phronesis SA in Oslo, we were raising awareness of the river valley ecosystems’ value for life quality and climate change mitigation in cities.
Project realised from January 2022 till April 2024. It aimed 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.
The project Climate Mitigation through Nature-Based Solutions in Urban Poland (Climate NBS Poland) was 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.
The Sendzimir Foundation carried out a two-year project in cooperation with the Croatia Green Building Council from September 2020 to September 2022. It is related to the practical aspects of the sustainable energy renovation of historical buildings. The project received funding under the European Climate Initiative (EUKI).
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 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.
Sendzimir Foundation implemented the 2 year long project in cooperation with the Kampinos National Park. The project involved key groups from local communities in cooperation with the park for the protection of nature.
The project created and implemented by the Sendzimir Foundation for the Green Areas Management (ZZW) unit in the City of Warsaw as part of the program for the sustainable management of surface and rainwater in the city.
As part of the second Citizens’ Initiative project, we have implemented 15 initiatives in various parts of Poland. The project covered 12 communes, located in 6 provinces.
