After Podgorica, the “Local Methodology Workshop” also Held in Niš
The City of Niš organized a workshop called “Local Methodological Workshop – Urban Heat Islands” as part of the “Be Ready: Urban Heat Islands Resilience, Preparedness and Mitigation Strategies” project.
This workshop is the first in a series of activities within the “Be Ready” project, which focuses on assessing the risk of urban heat islands, and the phenomenon itself forms due to the high level of construction – sidewalks, roads, and buildings that retain heat, which leads to an increase in temperature in urban areas.
The project includes the development of methodology, preparation of reports on the vulnerability and risk of heat islands, as well as the presentation of innovative measures to reduce their effects. In cooperation with partners from 12 European countries, the City of Niš and the Science and Technology Park Niš will work on the implementation of activities, after which the capacities for climate change mitigation and management will be developed. This way, we will lay the foundations for the future development of green infrastructure and harmonization with the policies of the European Union in the field of environmental protection.
The workshop in Niš brought together representatives of the public, civil, and business sectors, as well as academia, who discussed the goals and activities of the project and the expected results, and exchanged past experiences and data on the fight against climate change.
The project is supported through the INTERREG Program of the Danube Region and co-financed by the European Union.
