  • Gradske knjižnice kao prostori promicanja održivosti i edukacije o klimatskim promjenama

    Klimatske promjene sve su češća tema razgovora, a sigurno je da je, nažalost, i jug Hrvatske osjetljiviji na klimatske promjene. Sve češće smo svjedoci i velikih požara, poplava, vrućina i velikih oscilacija u temperaturi. Ovoga problema svjesni su i Šibenčani.

  • What was this BeePathNet journey? An open door to new adventures!

    Nea Propontida was, and still is, a municipality with lots of beekeepers. However there were no honey bees in urban areas till recently. The increased awareness of the people, the disappearance of bees as well as the high interest on the bee products, has resulted in increasing awareness on environmental issues, such as the quality of life in urban areas, the use of agrochemicals and their adverse effects and environmental pollution.

    The beekeeping tradition in Ljubljana and its outskirts dates back to the time of first prehistoric settlements. A bee and a beehive are on the oldest door sign in the city at the City Savings Bank (Mestna hranilnica) on Čop Street. As many as 3% of all Slovenian beekeepers with over 4500 beehives are active in the area of the City of Ljubljana and urban beekeeping is now flourishing in Ljubljana.

  • Pollinators on the rise

    The Municipality of the 12th District (Hegyvidék) is the local government body responsible for the administration of Budapest’s greenest district, a hilly, partly suburban area in the western part of the Hungarian capital. As the greenest district, Hegyvidék has a huge responsibility to keep an eye on its greenery, to inform and communicate with the residents and to raise their awareness regarding environmental issues, which is why a Green Office, that is responsible for this complex role, had been established in 2016.
