The LIFERadomKlima-PL project was presented at The Ukraine Green Recovery Conference organised by the European Commission on the green recovery of Ukraine. The conference takes place in Vilnius from 28 November to 1 December 2023. It includes policy and business segments and aims to take stock of future challenges and discuss the strategies and concrete solutions underlying Ukraine's green recovery. The project was presented as a good practice for the implementation of nature-based solutions in water management in a panel on European projects funded by the LIFE Programme.

On 26 May 2023, a Family Picnic entitled Put down your smartphone, take up your fishing rod took place at the Municipal Sports and Leisure Centre in Radom.

The LIFE project and European Union funds were promoted at a stand of the Radom City Hall - Department of EU Funds and Strategy. We told young participants about the effects of the project and the importance of nature-based solutions in adapting to current and projected future climate change and how Radom is preparing for this through the use of Blue-Green Infrastructure on rivers, reservoirs and in the urban landscape. There was a lot of fun, but also smuggled in knowledge. In one of the interesting competitions, children were asked, among other things, about the LIFE project, what are colmatation ponds, which fish species can be found in the Borki reservoir, what we can do to adapt to climate change or what water retention is and why it is done. All of this is to ensure that the youngest generation grows up respecting the planet and acquiring good habits that benefit the climate in a wide range of ways.

Radom as one of 8 new Ecohydrology Demonstration Sites approved by  the Scientific Advisory Committee of UNESCO’s Ecohydrology Programme

At the end of the project, Scientific Advisory Committee of the Ecohydrology Program of the UNESCO’s IHP (International Hydrological Program), composed of internationally well- known scientists from all over the world invited LIFE-RADOMKLIMA-PL project and the City of Radom to become a member of the Global Network of Ecohydrology Demonstration Sites of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Hydrological Program.

The knowledge gained in the project was included in the  Good practice guidelines, relating to climate adaptation for rainwater management in Radom. It covers climate aspects of the city, the vulnerability assessments and the entire process of developing adaptation solutions from the design phase to implementations. It also shows the water quality, management and environmental effects of the project. Publication was issued also in a book form  and distributed by project partners among interested parties.

The Layman's Report is a project summary document that takes a closer look at the problem and need for urban rainfall management as an adaptation to climate change.  It presents the positive effects of the applied elements of blue-green infrastructure in rainwater management in the city, supporting its  retention in the urban catchment and its treatment. The Report also serves to disseminate knowledge on climate change and the need for adaptation.
