Nature-based Solutions for climate adaptation measures to be implemented at Katowice Airport, Poland

One year after the start of the LIFE Archiclima project, aiming at effectively supporting property managers and owners in building resilience to the threatening effects of climate change, the project plans to convert up to around 2000 m2 of impervious paved surfaces into lawns and rain gardens located directly in front of passenger terminals of the Katowice Airport. The applied Nature-based Solutions are intended to reduce the temperature during the increasingly frequent heat waves and increase the safety of the facility and its users in the event of heavy rains and the risk of flash floods.
