Warszawa
The project to implement nature-based solutions (NBS) on the premises of the Ministry of Climate and Environment in Warsaw involved the conversion of hard surfaces, the creation of green walls using climbing plants, and new plantings.
We are designing 700 m² of new green spaces of high ecological value.
In the courtyard and on the north side, we are installing a green wall made of ivy.
They are designed to intercept part of the rainwater flowing from the parking lot before it goes to the rainwater sewage system. They were located in places where there are no underground networks and near rainwater drainage inlets due to the ease of making emergency overflows.
In areas where there are existing green spaces, which are currently lawns, we are planning to introduce a greater variety of plant species.
