The subject of the project is adaptation to climate change in the city of Bielsko-Biała, consisting in actions conducive to the support of sustainable rainwater management systems with the participation of greenery, green-blue infrastructure and nature-based solutions. Actions result from the Urban Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change. The project implements comprehensive activities in 15 selected locations (listed in the tasks) where adaptation measures will be taken, conducive to increasing the city's resilience to the occurrence of, among others, naval rains, flooding, sudden/urban floods, urban heat island phenomena. Adaptation measures will help the city to adapt to climate change, as the phenomena resulting from climate change pose serious obstacles to the proper functioning of the city and the health and life of its inhabitants. The negative effects of these phenomena damage infrastructure and cause losses in various sectors of the economy. The project implements the idea of retaining rainwater at the place of precipitation, thanks to the use of water-permeable surfaces and increasing the biologically active surface by using vegetation that delays rainwater runoff, retains water in the ground, protecting against excessive evaporation. Vegetation has been selected in a way that ensures biodiversity and naturalistic assumptions (by minimizing care, including mowing), will contribute to reducing the carbon footprint. Adaptation measures are divided into two groups: technical and information and education activities. Technical activities in the stormwater sector: - sealing of impermeable surfaces and increasing water retention in the city (exchange of substrate/degraded land for water-permeable, elimination of concrete, sealed surfaces, rehabilitation of retention reservoirs, management of retention basins) - increasing the biologically active surface (planting trees, perennials and shrubs, lawns) - the action will reduce the risk associated with the occurrence of maximum temperatures, heat waves reinforced by the MWC effect, as well as water shortages in dry periods (thanks to the possibility of low retention) and their negative effects on residents and increase the city's resistance to the effects of the occurrence of precipitation by improving retention conditions. The project will also result in the protection of the region's natural resources for the protection of biodiversity, including the restoration of natural and species habitats. Proper planting of plants will allow to reduce the surface run-off of water, improving retention conditions. Greenery in the project consists of native species. In addition, additional elements are planned to make available green and green-blue infrastructure. Information and educational activities are supporting activities, raising public awareness of climate change, promoting good adaptation practices, immunising the city and its inhabitants (educational programs, intensified information activities, educational actions in institutions, workshops with residents - picnic in the park, competition, exhibition, advertising in the media promoting the project and encouraging participation in events, printing educational aids-brochures, field games, guides to the city's green-blue infrastructure, guides on good practices for water protection and biodiversity). The activities will be carried out cyclically and will be addressed to various groups of the city's residents (more appendix 5). State of administrative readiness at the moment of submitting the grant application: The applicant has 13 applications for works without objection, 1 in the procedure, 1 application planned to be submitted, 1 application for a construction permit planned to be submitted, 1 decision on building conditions was obtained (more annex 9,4). The stages of project implementation are described in point SW. 1.5. Method of project implementation - selection of contractors in the PZP mode.
