Brava Municipal Council supports the Climate Action Program
As part of the Climate Action Program, the Mayor of Brava, Amândio Brito, had a meeting with Dr. Inês de Sousa Mourão, the program's Technical Coordinator, to discuss the objectives and initiatives underway, as well as support for the Local Climate Action Plan.
During the meeting, a set of documents was presented which aim to facilitate access to funding for decentralized climate actions. These actions aim to strengthen the climate response at local level, allowing for the implementation of more effective measures tailored to the specificities of each region.
Among the projects highlighted is the pilot project being carried out in the town of Furna, which aims to protect areas vulnerable to landslides caused by torrential flows in the stream. The project not only seeks to mitigate the risks related to climate change, but also to promote climate literacy, empowering the local population to face the challenges posed by changes in the climate.
In addition, the resilient tourism project in Fajã d'Água, part of the Tourist Villages initiative, was discussed. This project aims to promote sustainable tourism, adapted to current and future climate conditions, reinforcing the importance of local adaptation to environmental transformations.
This meeting reflects Brava's commitment to sustainability and climate action, aligning with global efforts to mitigate the impacts of climate change and ensure a more resilient future for the local community.
