Sažetak
Due to the intensive growth of the city population, and thus the very intensive process of urbanization, in the last few decades, there is a need to establish a concept that would enable further development of society, but on the principles of sustainability and in accordance with nature-based solutions. High environmental pressure in urban areas is not only characteristic of large cities with multi-million inhabitants, but also of medium-sized cities (such as Novi Sad and Osijek), as well as smaller cities between 10, 000 and 50, 000 inhabitants. Therefore, Novi Sad and Osijek are cities that are today under the pressure of intensive urbanization, modified climate, which is expressed due to climate change, intensification of traffic and constant reduction of green areas. As a consequence of these processes, there is a threat to the urban ecosystem, additional energy consumption, increased thermal risk, as well as threats to the economy and public health. In order to contributing in prevention of the current environmental threats, from 2019 to 2022 was realized the project in coordination of institutions from Serbia and Croatia. The GReENERGY project is an international/cross- border project implemented in Europe, with the aim of helping to improve the environment in cities, i.e., in this case urban areas of Novi Sad (Serbia) and Osijek (Croatia). Therefore, the activities of GReENERGY project seeks to: a) encourage the production and consumption of green energy (through the installation of new solar power plants in public buildings), and reduce energy consumption from conventional sources that are major emitters of CO2 ; b) to emphasize the installation of green roofs and green walls on public facilities as one of the Nature-based solution (NBS) that provide additional energy efficiency of the facilities ; and c) to help preserve the urban ecosystem and improve the conditions of outdoor thermal comfort at the microscale.
