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.
Over a three-year period, solutions will be developed and tested in collaboration with the cities of Erkner and Zielona Góra to make urban green spaces more resilient and thereby contribute to climate adaptation.
On March 26, 2026, the kick-off event for the German-Polish UCR Trialogue project took place. The event was titled “Resilient Urban Landscapes: Mitigating Heat, Retaining Water, Strengthening Diversity.
In collaboration with practitioners and academics, we aim to discuss the following topics in short panel discussions followed by a city tour:
