Climate Action Plan of the South Moravian Region

A healthier and more resilient landscape

• Measures to improve soil quality, water retention, and biodiversity will lead to a more stable and fertile landscape that is more resistant to drought and torrential rains.
• Strengthening the care of landscape features (trees, hedgerows, paths, wetlands) will improve the microclimate, reduce erosion, and increase the aesthetic and recreational value of the landscape.
• The landscape will retain water better and provide high-quality food, thereby increasing the region's long-term self-sufficiency.

More pleasant and safer cities and towns

• An emphasis on cooling settlements, planting greenery, and managing rainwater will reduce overheating in towns and improve air quality.
• The introduction of smart and energy-efficient buildings will lead to lower energy bills and increased comfort for households and public institutions.
• Better planning of settlements and infrastructure development will reduce traffic congestion, noise, and dust, thereby improving the quality of life in both rural and urban areas.

More accessible and sustainable transport

• The development of cycling and walking routes, as well as new parking spaces for bicycles, will increase safety and comfort in everyday travel.
• The region supports public transport and the electrification of the vehicle fleet, which will contribute to lower emissions and cleaner air.
• The concept of a "region of short distances" will ensure access to services, schools, and work without the need for long commutes.

Energy self-sufficiency and lower costs

• Support for renewable energy sources (RES) and community energy will strengthen the energy independence of municipalities and households.
• Comprehensive building renovations will reduce energy consumption and heating costs.
• Modernization of the distribution network will enable the development of local solar and wind energy projects.

Greater citizen involvement in decision-making

• Strengthening civic participation and democratic processes will enable people to influence events in the region, contribute local knowledge, and strengthen community life.
• Participatory education for children and young people will support the future generation of responsible citizens.

Education, awareness, and cooperation

• The region will implement awareness campaigns aimed at raising awareness of climate measures and sharing good practices.
• Connecting research, universities, municipalities, and citizens will enable the implementation of innovative solutions.

PROJECT PARTNERS: 

The document was prepared by the South Moravian Agency for Public Innovation JINAG in cooperation with experts from various sectors. The successful implementation of the plan is ensured through multi-level coordination, based on the South Moravian Region Climate Council, the South Moravian Region KAP manager, and a panel of experts. This system guarantees professional, methodological, and organizational support throughout the entire implementation process.

The project, with the acronym LIFE23-TAC-CZ-TA for IP COOLREGION, was implemented under the LIFE program (Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation subprogram) as technical assistance for the Strategic Integrated Project (SIP). The project aims to ensure quality and stakeholder involvement in the preparation and implementation of the Strategic Integrated Project (IP COOLREGION), which supports climate change mitigation and adaptation in the South Moravian Region.
