The goals of the project is promotion of green roofs and living walls as a tool for adaptation to climate change for urban areas, including initiating development of model strategies for green roof development in Polish municipalities. The project involves the transfer of German know-how in this area, including primarily the experience of the City of Hamburg, which since April 2014 has and implements its own strategy to stimulate the construction of green roofs in the city. The initiated bilateral exchange and cooperation with experts in the field of green roofs is to result in 8 local strategies developed for 8 Polish pilot cities, dissemination of materials and guidelines for supporting the development of green roofs and living walls in cities and improving general awareness of the role of green roofs in climate protection.
Within the project 3 action packages are planned:

This action will be implemented through the organization of a seminar and workshops with the participation of experts from Germany, a study visit to Hamburg for representatives of 8 Polish pilot municipalities, as well as the preparation of a brochure promoting green roof strategies and presenting German experiences.
PACKAGE 2: Development of green roof strategies in pilot municipalities based on the experience of the city of Hamburg. These documents will be adopted in each of the municipalities and included in other local strategic documents.
