The project addresses a specific aspect of one of the common territorial challenges of the Black Sea Region – the environmental problems of the Black Sea. In order to prepare the Black Sea Basin area for the climate change adaptation and mitigation there is an urgent need for specific actions and also a better risk preparedness and management. At the same time, regional cooperation is of utmost important for globally combatting climate change.
This is why four Black Sea Basin countries joined one action to combat climate change through supporting climate change adaptation by engaging agrarian and environmental stakeholders from the BS basin in development and promotion of ecosystem-based solutions on regenerative agriculture and permaculture.
In all the Black Sea Basin countries, including the Project Partner countries (Georgia, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Moldova) agriculture is one of the major economic sector- showing a larger share in the overall economy than the EU average.
The Project is also a support to the countries like Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova, that continue to facilitate coherent actions aimed to strengthen the political association and economic integration with the European Union, to reduce disparities between the EU Member States and the Partner Countries, in order to ensure a similar level of protection and preservation of the environment in the BSB area.
Project overall objective is Raise awareness of the target groups on the importance of ecosystem- based solutions to support climate change mitigation and adaptation, engage them in creation of transnational e-learning platform -e-farm for exchange of good practices and knowledge, improve their access to the e-farm, involve them in capacity building activities and pilot projects to ensure use of the ecosystem-based technologies, exploit the opportunities for cross-border collaboration.
Expected project results includes transnational networking and e-learning platform e-farm as well as the guidebook for farmers.
Without international cooperation and immediate actions, the environmental status of the Black Sea is at high risk of degradation. Therefore, the establishment and efficient operation of a coherent, interconnected and resilient to climate change, nature network at the Black Sea region is of critical importance.
