In the context of the first speech of the new series “Protection of Nature Lab” on the topic of “Promoting Urban Integration of Green Infrastructure to Improve Climate Governance in Cities “, Dr. Georgios Karetsos,  former Research Director at the Institute of Mediterranean & Forest Ecosystems (ELGO -DIMITRA), spoke about the conditions for the development of urban greenery and proposed good practices.
As it states: “The project tries to contribute to the information, the integration of European and international ideas and practices to deal with climate change and the improvement of the institutional framework for the management of Urban Green Spaces. COPs act as tools to reduce temperatures (-5.5 °C in bushes and -3.8 °C in grass, with an air temperature of 42 °C), reduce air pollution and noise intensity, enrich groundwater, corrosion control and have a positive effect on people’s mental health.”

As he mentioned, until today, the Urban Green Spaces (UZS) are being managed without taking into account the climatic parameters, while the synergy between science and management in practice should be deemed necessary so that the Municipalities respond to issues such as:
 the assessment of UGAS vulnerability
 the design of appropriate management measures and their implementation
 monitoring the effects of climate change and the effectiveness of adaptation measures

LIFE GRIN in collaboration with Noesis European Development Consulting organized a workshop for the replicability and transferability of the Project LIFE GrIn.

The event took place on 1st December 2023 in Barton Park, in Perugia and served as a platform for sharing valuable insights, guidelines, and experiences with key stakeholders in the field, including municipalities, urban planners, and green planners.

The results of the LIFE GRIN project were presented by the coordinator Dr. Konstantinia Tsagari (ELGO), by Dr. Aimilia Kontogianni and Mr. Lefteris Mystakidis (Homeotech Co.), while the event was greeted by representatives from KEDE, the Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Municipalities of Amarousion and Heraklion.

During the Workshop, the participants had the opportunity to learn about the results of the LIFE GRIN project with the ultimate goal of inspiring and enabling the replication of successful models within Greece and across the European Union, while they shared experience and good practices. Furthermore, it was an opportunity to promote cooperation between the different institutions and to create a network for knowledge exchange at European level.
