IEEP participates in international cooperation with IWRA on flood risk mitigation

IEEP, in collaboration with the International Water Resources Association (IWRA), has produced a publication focusing on approaches to flood damage reduction. The study looks at the differences between nature-based, grey and hybrid measures and their use in practice. It points out that nature-based solutions, while politically preferable, are often difficult to implement. Therefore, a combination of different approaches seems to be the most effective. At the same time, the publication stresses the need to evaluate measures in real-life conditions throughout their life cycle. Read more here.

IEEP continues long-term cooperation with IOER in Dresden

Following the successful BIDELIN project with the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER), which focused on ecosystem services and green-blue infrastructure in urban areas, we are now working with additional partners on the OKliBio project for the protection of meadow orchards and orchard lanes. The project aims to improve green infrastructure, support biodiversity and preserve old fruit varieties as part of the historical heritage of agricultural landscapes. This collaboration contributes to sustainable development and the conservation of natural resources in the Czech-Saxon border region.

IEEP is working on two new international projects on climate adaptation.

From the beginning of June 2024, IEEP will be involved in two new international INTERREG Central Europe projects. The Climate_CRICES project aims to increase the capacity of public authorities to cope with projected climate change impacts such as heat and drought, water scarcity and floods through more efficient and accurate analyses and forecasting. The ReBioClim project will focus on helping cities to restore smaller watercourses using nature-based solutions that will increase urban resilience to climate change.
