INTERNATIONAL DANUBE DAY
International Danube Day was celebrated on Sunday, June 29, 2025. The Public Institution for Nature Protection of Osijek-Baranja County invited nature, wine, and art enthusiasts to a workshop of an educational, artistic, and “wine-themed” character.
At an ideal location with one of the most beautiful views of the Danube — the Erdut Lookout — a painting workshop was organized in cooperation with the Erdut Winery, featuring the Danube River as the dominant motif. The workshop was led by academic painter Ena Gilih Mesarić and art historian Radmila Biondić.
Along with the tasting of premium wines from the Erdut Winery and a culinary offering, participants also received education on the Danube and the impact of climate change on the environment. This was followed by a walk around the Erdut Tower, the “Stairs of Health,” and the Porić trail, all part of the Erdut Significant Landscape, which is managed by the Public Institution for Nature Protection of Osijek-Baranja County.
By organizing such activities within the ClimEmpower project, which addresses climate change, and the Danubeparks and WILDisland Regional Ramsar Initiative, aimed at raising awareness about Danube conservation, our goal was to connect nature with culture, art, and ultimately with people — who play a crucial role in nurturing and preserving them.

A ClimEmpower Conference was held on February 6-7, 2025 in Croatia, organized by the Public Institution for Nature Protection in Osijek-Baranja County, one of the Croatian partners working on the CLimEmpower project. The conference gathered lecturers from various sectors, highlighting issues related to climate change. Besides the main topics about nature protection and agriculture in Osijek-Baranja County, other interesting topics like food production, permaculture, seed savers exchange, forest restoration, contemporary tracking devices used in agriculture, and even reproductive health were covered. The main goal was to draw attention to how serious the situation is due to climate change and to create possible solutions by exchanging experience and knowledge. During this two-day conference, many connections between the lecturers and participants were made, which can indeed contribute to the further development of ClimEmpower project and other fields, resulting in a mutual battle related to climate change adaptation and resilience.

The Public Institution for Nature Protection in Osijek-Baranja County attended the 18th annual meeting, where the experts for nature protection and conservation gather from all of the Croatian nature parks, national parks, and other public institutions that deal with nature protection on a regional scale. The meeting took place in one of Croatia's nature parks along the Adriatic Coast - Vransko jezero. Since one of the topics was climate change in protected areas, our colleagues from Javna ustanova za zaštitu prirode Osječko - baranjske županije presented and promoted the ClimEmpower project to all of the attendants of the meeting.

The Public Institution for Nature Protection in Osijek-Baranja County, as one of the partners on the ClimEmpower project, celebrated International Drava Day 2024, since the Drava is one of the most important rivers in the county and in Europe. With climate change and the dissemination of the project in mind, most of the activities during this celebration focused on climate adaptation and resilience. Our main goal was to educate the public about nature protection, climate changes and how to adapt to these changes. Over 700 people and the media learned something about ClimEmpower and climate change that day.

CoP Meetings story #4
(in alphabetical order)
https://climempower.eu/italy-cop-meetings/

Sicily, the largest island in Italy, encompasses an area of 25,832.39 square kilometres and a population of 4,782,457 inhabitants as of 2022. Significantly, Sicily’s regional gross domestic product (GDP) contributes 5% to the national GDP, primarily propelled by the key economic sectors: agriculture, industry, and tourism.

Sicily is increasingly susceptible to the adverse impacts of climate change, particularly evident in its urban area. Urban areas emerge as focal points of vulnerability, marked by heightened exposure to climate change-induced hazards. Instances of severe heat waves, exemplified by a noteworthy temperature of 48.8°C recorded in August 2021, as well as pluvial and coastal flooding events, evidenced by precipitation levels ranging from 150 to 300 millimetres in 2021, underscore the pronounced vulnerability of Sicily’s urban landscape to climate change. The magnitude and frequency of extreme temperatures and precipitation events have increased in recent years and are expected to further aggravate in the future.

The setting of the CoP in the Sicily region is characterized by involving institutional stakeholders, particularly, representatives of public entities at both the regional and metropolitan levels. To engage stakeholders effectively, it was decided to organize two informative meetings (November – December 2023) and a third meeting to start the official work of the CoP (February 2024).

The prioritized hazards identified by CoP stakeholders are Urban Flooding and Heat Waves.

Greece

The Region of Central Greece (Perifereia Stereas Elladas-PSTE) is the second largest administrative region in Greece in total area (15,549.31 km2), with a population of 555,960 inhabitants (5.2% of the country’s population), it accounts for 4.7% (€8.767bn) of the country’s GDP while the regional GDP per capita in PPS was €19,300 in 2018 (EU28 average €31,000). More than half of the region is composed by mountains, followed by lowland and semi-mountainous terrain.

The First Greek Cop meeting was held in the premises of the Prefecture of Central Greece in Lamia on 21/12/2023.

The meeting was divided into two parts. The first part CERTH and PSTE gave general presentations of the project. Stakeholders had also the opportunity to present themselves.

In the second part, a Human-Centred Design activity was implemented to collect initial feedback from the stakeholders regarding their perception of the risk based on their own experience, as well as available tools used to avoid or reduce the impact.

The hazards that were identified during the second part of the CoP are Fires, Floods, Drought, Temperature rise, Water pollution.
