The “Urban Climate Resilience Trialogue” project is developing methods for sustainable green space management in Erkner (Brandenburg, Germany) and Zielona Góra (Lubusz Voivodeship, Poland), involving local government, academia, and civil society. These methods include the creation of urban climate maps, the development of a catalog of solutions for sustainable green space management, the piloting of redesign measures at four pilot sites in Erkner and Zielona Góra, and the development of guidelines for transferring the results to other cities.
At the beginning of September, we visited the two German pilot sites in Erkner and developed initial plans for redesign and climate adaptation together with the project partners.
As part of the UCR Trialogue project, the Institute for Ecology of Industrial Areas (IETU) has prepared urban climate maps for Zielona Góra and Erkner…
Climate change in urban areas is particularly evident in more frequent heatwaves and heavy rainfall events, which can cause local flooding. To plan climate-mitigation and climate-adaptation measures effectively, municipalities need to base planning decisions on integrated, measurable data.
