Veszprém
Hungary
Since 2015, Veszprém city (HU), through its public utility company (VKSz), has implemented climate-adaptive grassland management. This successful approach, refined through experimentation and testing, rests on three pillars: Political and expertise commitment: The city’s leadership supports VKSz in introducing new technology that exploits the advantages of urban green spaces, reducing heat island effects and enhancing biodiversity. Scientific collaboration: In cooperation with the Hungarian University of Agriculture and Life Sciences, seven plots were established to test the methods, to suggest technological modifications, and monitor the process. Continuous community engagement: From the start, the local community was kept informed and involved, via information boards, leaflets, lectures, and community festivals.
