The Chisinau City Hall is to approve a 10 million lei project of natural solutions for rehabilitating the Byk riverbed, mayor general Ion Ceban announced in an international scientific and practical symposium entitled “Conservation of urban biodiversity as a precondition for sustainable development”, IPN reports.
“The witnessed climate change influences any city, any region and will yet significantly influence in the not too distant future. We need to adjust to these risks and look for other solutions than those identified so far and we are in the process of identifying such solutions. We need to take the natural solutions into account and be maximally ready for any type of risk. Resilience in urban areas matters a lot,” stated the mayor.
According to him, concrete solutions to manage waste are being looked for so that stored waste no longer exists in 2030. “It is hard to achieve this objective, but we take rapid steps in this regard. I hope by this yearend we will have a solution so that we look for partnerships in sorting and diminish the stored waste and could swiftly identify a solution so as not to have such waste in general,” stated Ion Ceban.
The international scientific and practical symposium was held to mark the 30th anniversary of the founding of the municipal enterprise “Green Areas Association”.
