On February 29, 2024, nn 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,” in the Panayotis & Effie Michelis Foundation, Dr Konstantinia Tsagari, former Director of the Institute of Mediterranean & Forest Ecosystems (ELGO-DIMITRA) and coordinator of the LIFE GrIn (“LIFE17 GIC/GR/000029) program spoke about the contribution of research to tackling contemporary problems related to urban greening.
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
