Bistrita - Climate Change Resilient City (BiOReSC)

About this project

<p>This project aims to strengthen local capacity for smart and fast adaptation to the severity of challenges related to the climate&nbsp; change mitigation and adaptation&nbsp; in Bistrita-Nasaud area, throughout: (1)&nbsp;Stimulating local resilience to climate change by promoting blue-green infrastructure; (2) Integrate climate change resilience issues&nbsp; into the process of identifying technical solutions for: underground placement of electrical and/or telecommunication cables; identification of areas (including roads arteries)&nbsp; with rain drainage capacity; construction and renovation of buildings in general, public ones in particular, as part of the adaptation to the new legislation on energy-efficiency of buildings from 2020-2021.</p> <p>Project's direct results consist in: (1) Elaboration of the strategy&nbsp; and plan on climate change mitigation and adaptation measures at Bistrita Municipality level; (2) Technical studies (elaboration) on: development of green-blue urban planning measures (elaboration of studies)&nbsp;; identification of areas ((including roads arteries)&nbsp; with rain drainage capacity (elaboration of studies) ;&nbsp;underground placement of electrical and/or telecommunication cables (carrying out feasibility studies); solutions to adapt the city to other key categories of urban climate risks (availability of water resources, population congestion at specific points, weather data etc.).</p> <p>The indirect results&nbsp; are oriented to:&nbsp; (1) development of collaboration&nbsp; relation with local stakeholders, on areas of activity vulnerable to climate change; (2) contribution to the national and European efforts on climate change mitigation and adaptation.</p>
