About the Project

The project “Urban Climate Adaptation and Recovery Efforts through Green Infrastructure in the Black Sea Basin – UCare” (BSB00822) aims to strengthen urban resilience and mitigate the impact of climate change by strategically regenerating green spaces in urban areas of the Black Sea Basin. The project promotes biodiversity, improves air quality, reduces the urban heat island effect, and encourages community engagement and well-being.
