LIFE CITYAdaP3 is a public-private partnership project to implement climate change adaptation measures in the urban environment of Molina de Segura. The City Council is currently working on three actions, which are in different phases:
Action 1: Ecological House - Bioclimatic Classroom.
The basic project and execution project has been carried out by the company Ecoproyecta. In addition, the specific technical specifications have been finalised and next week the contracting dossier will be opened.
Action 2: Study and Drafting of the Implementation Project for the Green, Tree-lined and Shaded Urban Path.
On Tuesday 21 September the contract was signed with the company M&K IngenierÃa Civil for the study of the streets and the drafting of the Green Urban Path Project, with a completion period of three months.
Action 3: Reforestation and climate change adaptation measures in Nelson Mandela Park, with the incorporation of sustainable urban drainage systems.
This week sees the completion of the execution project in order to proceed with the contracting procedures for the actions.
"These are three pilot initiatives, of a marked environmental nature, which seek to improve the adaptation of the urban environment of Molina de Segura to climate change and which we are carrying out within the framework of the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy. Three sustainable projects committed to the idea of a green, friendly and environmentally friendly city, in which Eversia, Sercomosa and Ribera Hospital de Molina are actively involved. These are three large local companies that find in Corporate Social Responsibility a magnificent way of contributing to the improvement of society, making it fairer and more egalitarian, while at the same time committed to the sustainability of the planet and the improvement of the environment".
This project is coordinated by the Federation of Municipalities of the Region of Murcia, with the collaboration of the University of Murcia, the technical advice of Eurovértice Consultants, and the involvement of the city council of the Italian city of Reggia Emilia and the Murcian cities of Alcantarilla, Lorquà and Molina de Segura.
"The synergies that this project promotes between administrations, universities and private initiatives contribute to the achievement of the objectives set and to the creation of a much more cohesive, supportive and rational society", concludes Eliseo GarcÃa.
In the municipality of Molina, this is an initiative of the Department of European Projects and is coordinated at a technical level by the municipal biologist Carmen Mondéjar, together with the services of the Environment, Town Planning and the Business Office.
For his part, the secretary general of the Federation of Municipalities, Manuel Pato, explained during his speech that, "the path towards adaptation to climate change must not be slowed down, it is essential to ensure the quality of life of people, and an avant-garde and respectful co-governance with the environment, but to achieve this it is clear that, in addition to the fundamental role played by municipal policy and European investment, the private collaboration of companies and public awareness is key".
