| Using Structural Substrate for Tree Planting in Jihlava || Jihlava (Vysočina Region)/Czechia || Drought, Heatwave and warming trend || Example || A strip of trees measuring 1.2 meters in width and 103 meters in length has been established alongside the busy pavement and cycle path. The trees are planted in a structural substrate designed to enhance the water and air conditions in the root zone. This substrate forms the main volume of the planting trench and consists of two layers with increased compaction. The upper layer features modeled gravel with a slight depression in the center. The city has chosen a variety of tree species, including maples, lindens, hornbeams, ash trees, and alders, in different sizes (with trunk circumferences of 12-14 cm and 14-16 cm) to monitor and compare their growth and health. Additionally, the surface of the upper substrate is adorned with a mixture of annuals and perennials for aesthetic purposes. || [https://www.adapterraawards.cz/en/Vysadby-do-strukturalniho-substratu-Jihlava-1 AdapterraAwards.cz]

Green infrastructure

Wellbeing
 || In implementing climate adaptation measures, the city is enhancing green infrastructure by installing public water fountains at ten busy locations. The prototype meets the highest hygiene standards and is a highly ecologically efficient product, offering three options for drinking and filling water bottles, even for pets.  This is especially important during high summer temperatures, which present a significant risk to human health. The initiative will improve access to clean drinking water, promoting public health while also reducing the need for single-use plastic bottles. By making water more accessible, the city encourages sustainable practices and a cleaner urban environment. || https://www.sibenik.hr/

| Photovoltaic power plants on public buildings || Šibenik/ Croatia || Temperature || Energy || The Croatian Fund for Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency approved the project proposal of the City of Šibenik for the installation of photovoltaic power plants on five public buildings. The locations are Bazeni Crnica Sports Center, City Administration Building, Juraj Dalmatinac Elementary School, Vidici Elementary School, and Petar Krešimir IV Elementary School.
The value of the project is €326,980.32, and the Fund's co-financing is 40%. The project's main objective is to increase the capacity for the production of solar energy and the production and use of energy from renewable sources.

Waste management
|| The purpose of the Bikarac Waste Management Center is the mechanical-biological treatment (MBO) of municipal waste with the primary goal of producing biostabilized material suitable for final disposal. 
In addition to the production of the biostabilized fraction, recyclable materials (metals, glass, paper, plastic) and solid fuel are separated from the waste. This fulfills the main criteria of municipal waste disposal as prescribed by the Law on Sustainable Waste Management in Croatia: 
* reduction of the total amount of waste disposed of landfills
* reduction of harmful components of disposed waste and especially the content of biodegradable components in it
* utilization of useful components of waste, including its energy value.

| Climate Resilience Plan 2020 || Turin, Italy || Heat waves and floods || Urban infrastructure, urban green areas, health || The City of Turin Climate Resilience Plan 2020 outlines an articulated local adaptation strategy to reduce the vulnerability of the territory and of the people, guaranteeing their health and well-being and ensuring the livability of the city and the continuity of services.
It identifies a series of short and long-term adaptation measures by defining a series of actions (overall about 80) aimed at reducing the impacts caused mainly by heat waves and floods, which represent the main risks associated with climate change to which the city is exposed to. 
The Resilience Plan also contains indicators for monitoring each of the proposed actions.

| Blue and Green Infrastructure for Sustainable Cities || City of Turin and the province || Heat waves, floods, heavy precipitation || Urban green areas, blue areas, health || Guidelines to develop green and blue infrastructures in Piedmont Region, based on project results. Green and Blue Infrastructure for sustainable cities has focused its efforts in improving policies that promote the value of green and blue infrastructures as an integral part of a local or regional natural heritage conservation strategy. Green Infrastructures must become an integral part of spatial planning, contributing significantly to a wide range of EU policies, from climate change mitigation and adaptation to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. This document is, indeed, a capitalisation of the outputs of [https://www.alpine-space.eu/project/los_dama/ LOS_DAMA!] project (Green Infrastructure for better living), funded by the Alpine Space Program 2014-2020. The document provides NBS examples related to the green and blue infrastructures (chapter 2 and 3).

| Corona Verde di Torino || City of Turin and the province || Heat waves, floods, heavy precipitation || Urban green areas, health || Corona Verde is the large belt that embraces Turin with green areas, royal residences, river networks and cultivated fields. It guarantees health and well-being, helps to contrast air and noise pollution, increases resilience to the effects caused by climate change, represents a model of sustainable and long-lasting local development. NBS described in the document are fully transferable in the areas that request those kinds of interventions. NBS applied are catalogued on an e-government platform, available at the following  [https://www.coronaverde.it/projects/map LINK] || [https://www.regione.piemonte.it/web/temi/ambiente-territorio/ambiente/corona-verde Corona Verde]
